The Canaveral Barge Canal provides an east-to-west link between the Atlantic Ocean and Indian River Lagoon across northern Merritt Island Florida in two segments separated by the Banana River. It is located 15 miles south of Titusville Florida. The canal is 12 feet deep and has entrances to other water systems including Syke’s Creek and various marinas. The canal links Port Canaveral along the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway running down the center of the Indian River Lagoon.
