Promised Land is a small town in Kentish located in the north western part of the island.
This very picturesque rural locality is a rich farming area bounded by Lake Barrington on one side and the dramatic peaks of the Great Western Tiers on the other. Best known for its 2,000 metre, eight-lane international-standard rowing course, used for rowing, canoeing and water skiing competitions.

The lake is a popular water ski location with access via West Kentish on one side of the lake and Wilmot on the other.
