Florida Surrounded By the Intracoastal Waterway

Florida Surrounded By the Intracoastal Waterway (most of it) - come and see. Take the boat out and enjoy the water.

What's the Intracoastal Waterway? A 3,000 mile inland waterway along the Atlantic and Gulf states. Some sections are artificial canals and some are natural waterway, inlets, and bays. The artificial canals connect sections and make it easier to navigate the waterway.

Florida Surrounded By the Intracoastal Waterway

The idea for an inland waterway started with the Congress of 1826. After the Civil War, funding was cut for it and diverted to railroads. In 1909, things started looking up again for the Waterway. The Intracoastal runs along most of the Eastern seaboard and around the Gulf of Mexico to Brownsville, TX.

Come and enjoy our waterways. This is one of the areas that leads to the waterway in New Port Richey, FL.

I've always loved that about Florida and visiting my friends who lived inland. When one of my agents retired to Floria her husband HAD to have water.

Toni,

I love the intracoastal, and the first time I was made aware of it was on a trip to Palm Beach to work with a client there. A

Toni I would love to do both the intercoastal and intracoastal waterways, but on someone else's boat - we gave it all up years ago. We've always owned sailboats, never a power boat

Toni, wow....I had no idea the intracoastal waterway was so long. So, you can pretty much boat around Florida without being in the open water or ocean?

I've covered a lot of it but never in one fell swoop, that'd be so sweet to do Toni! This months Yachting magazine has an itinerary that incorporates the entire ICW, check it out?

Hi Toni. I didn't know the Intercoastal was a government project -- I thought it just grew that way! It provides sheltered harbors and habitats and it's great for boating.

Hi Toni, When I lived in Fla I loved discovering along the banks and the inlets. I have even canoed some of the more remote parts and skied in some parts as well.
