On Halifax River
The Halifax River is a tidal waterway in northeast Volusia County, Florida, and forms part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. It begins at Tomoka Bay, next to Tomoka State Park, where the Tomoka River, Bulow Creek and Halifax Creek meet. From there it flows south for about 25 miles past Ormond Beach, Holly Hill, Daytona Beach, South Daytona and Port Orange. Near its southern end it joins Spruce Creek and the Mosquito Lagoon, then reaches the Atlantic Ocean through Ponce de Leon Inlet. Its drainage basin covers most of eastern Volusia County. The waterway was first called the North Mosquito River. It was renamed for George Montagu-Dunk, 2nd Earl of Halifax, during the British occupation of Florida (1763-1784). Six bridges cross it, from the Granada Bridge in Ormond Beach south to the Port Orange Causeway. More about Halifax River.
