About this river

Loxahatchee River

The Loxahatchee River is a 7.6-mile-long river located in southeastern Florida. It is a part of the Intracoastal Waterway and runs through the Loxahatchee River Historical and Natural Area. The river played a significant role in the Seminole Wars of the 19th century. The river flows into the Jupiter Inlet, which connects to the Atlantic Ocean. The hydrology of the river is influenced by both rainwater and the nearby Atlantic Ocean. There are two primary reservoirs along the Loxahatchee River, including the Loxahatchee River Dam and the Palm Beach Canal. These reservoirs have been used for agricultural and recreational purposes. The river is home to various fish species, including tarpon, snook, and redfish, making it a popular spot for fishing.
