Indian River (IR)
The Indian River is a 121 mile long brackish lagoon spanning 5 counties on Florida's East Coast. The Indian River 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 extends southward to meet Palm Beach County's Loxahatchee River and make it's southern terminus at Jupiter Inlet.
Indian River Tributarys
Water bodies connected to the Indian River.

Saint Lucie County IR Tributarys
Martin County IR Tributarys
Palm Beach County IR Tributarys
Indian River Causeways and Bridges
There are 18 earthen berm causeways with bridges across the Indian River.
Brevard County IR Bridges (8)
Indian River County IR Bridges (3)
Saint Lucie County IR Bridges (2)
Martin County IR Bridges (4)
Palm Beach County IR Bridges (1)
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.
