About Us

Our Vision- 
"The Indian River Lagoon National Scenic Byway promotes an environment where travelers are surrounded by a unique and diverse habitat with special places and breathtaking scenery that inspires a sense of calmness and creates unforgettable memories.”

The history of the Indian River Lagoon National Scenic Byway spans across thousands of years and embodies people's respect for the inherent beauty of this area. The byway offers travelers an opportunity to witness pristine, fragile ecosystems, glimpses of Florida's past and visions for the future through space exploration.

The Indian River Lagoon National Scenic Byway meanders through delicate expanses of three national wildlife refuges, a national seashore and numerous state and local parks, and sanctuaries. The Indian River is home to more than 4,000 species of plants and animals, the largest number of species of any estuary in North America.

Visitors may enjoy the rich and lavish land either by the roadside or by getting "off the beaten path" through sailing, swimming, surfing, boating, fishing, bird watching, hiking and biking.

While this unique Scenic Byway affords travelers a glimpse of a delicately balanced ecosystem, it also personifies the region's history and man's desire for exploration. This area was known by native Ais Indians, Spanish explorers and visited by English pirates. As development advanced the strength of this country, Henry Flagler's railroad afforded early homesteaders the opportunity to continue the exploration of the land's intrinsic resources. Today, that exploration turns towards space at Kennedy Space Center and the NASA Space Program.

Today, the Indian River Lagoon National Scenic Byway continues to provide residents and visitors to the region the opportunity to enjoy and explore this unique ecosystem for years to come.
