The Indian River is the largest of 3 major lagoons in the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program
About the Indian River
The Indian River is a 121 mile long brackish lagoon spanning 6 counties on Florida's East Coast. It is the largest of 3 water bodies in the Indian River Lagoon Estuary system and is a part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.
Location
The northern terminus of the Indian River is in Volusia County's Oak Hill, it merges with the Banana River at Dragon's Point on the southern tip of Brevard County's Merritt Island, and then the IR extends southward to meet Palm Beach County's Loxahatchee River and makes it's southern terminus at Jupiter Inlet.
Odor
During the hot summer months the earthen berm causeways tend to impede the flow of algae and rotting seagrass which results in an odor of hydrogen sulfide in some areas along the river.
