The Indian River lagoon is the largest of the three lagoons in the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program. At 121 miles long, the Indian River spans 5 Florida counties.

Site Note:
*Normally a river's course is described in the direction of it's current flow. The Indian River Estuary doesn't have a directional flow, so this website will always describe it's Water Bodies in a north to south direction.
*Lagoons do not have a directional current and some water bodies (tidal marshes, canals and inlets) flow in both directions, so these water bodies are not technically tributaries. However, for this website's purposes, all connecting water bodies regardless of current, may be referred to as tributaries.
