Dear Snowbirds. Worried about the water in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL)? Can’t blame you.

Leaking septic tanks, fish kills, smelly water. . .
the IRL is a mess.

That’s why you need to plan your stay in Palm Beach County, by
our clean and wonderful
Lake Worth Lagoon!

BONUS: Two videos below.

To learn more about our treasured lagoon in Palm Beach County, here’s an excerpt from this blog by reporter Willie Howard, “Paddling the habitats of Lake Worth Lagoon”:

Anglers fishing around the islands of the central lagoon can catch snook, mangrove snapper, barracuda, sheepshead and small bait fish along with the occasional redfish and spotted sea trout.
     Restoration islands near the Lake Avenue Bridge include the Snook Islands project, completed in 2005 (and later expanded); the two Grassy Flats islands on the east side of the lagoon near the Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course; Bryant Park Wetlands islands south of the bridge near Lake Worth’s Bryant Park; and the Jewel Cove project southeast of the bridge across from Lake Worth Beach.
     To date, the county has overseen 49 environmental restoration projects in the Lake Worth Lagoon, the 20-mile-long estuary that stretches from Ocean Ridge to North Palm Beach.

How clean is the Lake
Worth Lagoon?

Check out these two videos.

This first video is a small part of the City of Lake Worth’s Great American Raft Race and the views of the water are amazing:



The video below is the Parrot Cove Neighborhood Assoc. receiving their trophy for winning this year’s Raft Race! NAPC President Jon Faust and Mango Groves’ Mr. Greg Rice do the honors.



Come and visit us in the little City of Lake Worth located right along the Lake Worth Lagoon! The City is already lining up a whole bunch of events and activities to keep all you Snowbirds busy. Use this link to learn more.

Hope to see you soon, Snowbirds!
