CREATING ACCESS FOR ALL

The vision for the Chain of Lakes Blueway Trail experience is to finally link Palm Beach County waterways by providing two-way access for small boats and non-motorized watercraft between the Chain of Lakes, Lake Worth Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway, which is just a few hundred yards away. In Palm Beach County, 80 percent of registered small boats meet this criteria – and that doesn’t include the thousands of kayakers, paddleboarders, canoers and others who use the local waterways every year.

Connectivity is just the first step. The momentum of this project could pave the way for new multi-use marinas, docks and boat ramps, providing even more access to our public waterways. It could also lead to additional forms of ecotourism by linking our Greenways and Blueways.

• Direct, two-way connectivity between the Chain of Lakes, Lake Worth Lagoon, Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean
• Restoration and preservation of wildlife habitats
• Improvements to existing fishing piers
• Economic driver for the entire region
• Increased property values
• Increased commerce and job opportunities
• Potential for additional forms of ecotourism by linking our Greenways and Blueways
• More people enjoying our waterways
• Better quality of life

From residents and boaters to the marine industry and local municipalities – everyone agrees:
THIS PROJECT BENEFITS THE ENTIRE REGION. Let’s CONNECT!
Make the Chain of Lakes Blueway Trail experience a reality!
