Indian River

Indian River, lagoon, c.100 mi (160 km) long, E Fla., parallel to the east coast from N of Titusville to Stuart. Along the lagoon a variety of citrus and vegetable products are grown and transported by small boats to towns on its waterway and those further inland. The river's coasts have been marked by housing developments, especially for retired communities and for vacationers. Notable resort towns along the Indian's shores include Titusville, Vero Beach, Melbourne, and Ft. Pierce.
