I fish in a reservoir that was built to raise the water level for vessel passage. I have been through a lock there.
Is there another way across from east coast to west?

The Okeechobee Waterway (OWW) is an inside protected passage across Florida from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. The eastern entrance to the OWW is located in Stuart, FL approximately 80 NM south of Cape Canaveral on Florida’s east coast. The western entrance is located just off of Punta Rassa, FL (near Cape Coral and Fort Myers) about 77 NM south of the entrance to Tampa Bay on Florida’s west coast.
