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.
