Routes

Routes

New River and Las Olas routes to Port Everglades or Hillsboro.

Route

Coral Ridge to Hillsboro Inlet

Coral Ridge north to Hillsboro Inlet — Commercial Boulevard at ~15 ft, a shoaling bar, not Port Everglades. Outside the local canal graph’s northern node.

Route

Coral Ridge to Port Everglades on the ICW

Coral Ridge fingers to Port Everglades — Oakland Park and Sunrise at ~25 ft, 17th Street at ~55 ft, and the 5.5 ft backyard that is the real first shoal.

Route

Fort Lauderdale to Bimini: Stream crossing metrics

Fort Lauderdale to Bimini is outside the local canal graph — about 50 nm, Gulf Stream, customs, and why draft still matters on the Banks after you clear Port Everglades.

Route

Harbor Beach to Port Everglades: the short ocean run

Harbor Beach bulkheads to Port Everglades — minutes, ~12 ft, 17th Street only if you join the ICW. The control basin for programs that refuse the New River.

Route

Las Olas to Port Everglades on the ICW

Las Olas Isles to Port Everglades — ICW distance, 17th Street as the high span, Las Olas Boulevard as the local air-draft number.

Route

New River to Port Everglades: ordered obstacles

Route from downtown New River to Port Everglades — distance, first bridge, first shoal, and a map trace using the local waterway graph.
