Canaveral Barge Canal
Canal in Brevard County, Florida, US
About
The Canaveral Barge Canal is an active canal in Brevard County, Florida, cutting east-west across northern Merritt Island just south of Cape Canaveral. It connects the Atlantic Ocean and Port Canaveral with the Indian River and wider Indian River Lagoon, part of the Intracoastal Waterway. The canal consists of two segments separated by the Banana River.
The canal was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1950, during the initial construction of Port Canaveral to allow the transport of crude oil by barge to two power plants south of Titusville, Florida.
