Indian River Lagoon (IRL)

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 Merritt Island, and then extends southward to meet Palm Beach County's Loxahatchee River with it's southern terminus at Jupiter Inlet.

Indian River Causeways

There are eighteen earthen berm causeway bridges across the Indian River.

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.
