The Indian River is a 121-mile-long river located in east-central Florida. It was named after the Native American tribes that once inhabited the surrounding areas. The river flows from its headwaters in the swamps of southern Brevard County, through the city of Titusville, and ultimately empties into the Atlantic Ocean at the Indian River Lagoon. The river is an important hydrological resource for the region and is home to several reservoirs and dams, including Lake Washington, Lake Poinsett, and the Ocklawaha River Dam. These reservoirs provide drinking water to nearby communities, support agricultural irrigation, and offer recreational opportunities such as boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The Indian River is also an important habitat for a variety of marine life, including manatees, dolphins, and sea turtles.
