Moving north, Lake Boca Raton is a great anchorage – beware the hordes on weekends but few remain overnight – nice public dock you can use for your dinghy at Silver Palm Park adjacent to the first bridge heading north on the ICW tucked into the NW corner – not much nearby but a few stores and again the great beaches.

Be careful entering this anchorage! We anchored here last night (2/28/12) and it is tricky to get into the anchorage. We entered just south of Marker 65 and almost went aground. The anchorage was crowded but everyone entered North of marker 65. We left the anchorage this morning North of the marker and had plenty of water. Nice anchorage It was crowded until dark with locals but we had a nice, quiet night.
Earlier this week, while anchored in Boca Lake, we were approached by a Boca marine police officer. He said the town has imposed a 72 hour limit on anchoring. When we asked about how this squares with the recent news about State laws concerning anchoring, he said Boca Lake is a park and therefore covered by different laws. The office was very polite and cordial.
