    • Port Mayaca Railway Lift Bridge (Okeechobee Waterway Statute Mile 39)

      The Port Mayaca Railway Lift Bridge sets the vertical clearance limit for the entire Okeechobee Waterway. That’s because even when fully raised, this span is normally only 49 feet off the water. I had not considered before Captain message below that when water levels drop, the bridge clearance may increase. Notice I said, “MAY” increase, as the water level in the canal is controlled by locks, and may be different from that of Lake Okeechobee.

      Clearance increases on this bridge as Lake level lowers. Call ahead for actual clearance height on the day before traveling.
