This canal, built from 1916 to 1924, links Lake Okeechobee with the Indian River Lagoon. Designed to manage floodwaters, it channels water from the lake into the St. Lucie Estuary through the South Fork of the St. Lucie River. The route along the canal provides a scenic and historical backdrop, perfect for a rest and a drink, while enjoying the lush surroundings and tranquil waters.

Lake Okeechobee offers a unique experience as Florida's largest freshwater lake and the tenth-largest in the U.S. It spans 730 square miles but is only about 9 feet deep, it’s too vast to see across and is fed primarily by the Kissimmee River. The lake touches Glades, Okeechobee, Martin, Palm Beach, and Hendry counties, all meeting near its center. Historically, the Calusa called it "Mayaimi," meaning "big water." The name "Okeechobee" comes from Hitchiti words for "water" and "big".
