LAKE WORTH —

Palm Beach County’s “chain of lakes” is a boater’s paradise already used by tens of thousands of boaters, kayakers, canoers and paddleboarders.

It’s a 30-mile stretch of connected freshwater lakes comprised of West Palm Beach’s Pine Lake at the north end, Lake Clarke in Lake Clarke Shores, Lake Osborne and Lake Eden in Lake Worth, and Delray Beach’s Lake Ida at the south end.

But there’s one problem. You can’t get from them to the Intracoastal Waterway.
