On Lake Worth Creek

Lake Worth Creek is the part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in northern Palm Beach County, Florida, that runs between Lake Worth near North Palm Beach and the Loxahatchee River near Jupiter Inlet. It was once a winding blackwater creek that flowed north and joined the Loxahatchee River near its mouth. Development changed it over time, most of all when the Intracoastal Waterway from Jacksonville to Miami was finished in 1894. Part of the creek lies in the Loxahatchee River-Lake Worth Creek Aquatic Preserve. The state set up this preserve in 1970, and it covers 1,800 acres in Martin and Palm Beach counties.
