I’m in Cape Coral, which has over 400 miles of canals running throughout the city (largest canal system in the world). Some lead to the gulf (or pine island sound to be exact), some are landlocked, and some lead to the Caloosahatchee River. The C river runs inland to Lake Okachobee, which then has another river running out the other side and to the east coast….giving is the Intercoastal Waterway
