    • [EXPIRED] Controlling Depths on Okeechobee Waterway As of 3/19/13

      Of course, the depths provided by Captain Chuck Baier will change over time, but at least for the rest of March, 2013, and into April, these figures will be of use to anyone contemplating a cruise across the breadth of Florida.
      Note that both the Lake and Rim Routes are currently carrying enough depth for the vast majority of cruising craft, but, of course, the Lake Route remains the deeper of the two passages.

      Here is the current lake levels. Route 2 is the Rim Route.
