The Indian River Lagoon Scenic Highway is a 130-mile (209 km) long scenic byway located in Florida. Basically, the Highway is actually a collection of several roads, mostly running north and south along either side of the Indian River Lagoon, connected by other roads running over the Lagoon. The two main north–south roads are:
- US 1 along the western side of the Lagoon
- A1A, and State Road 3 along the eastern side of the Lagoon
The east west connectors are, from north to south:
- State Road 402, Playalinda Beach Road, at the northernmost reach of the Lagoon. This road deadends.
- State Road 405 connecting US 1 to State Road 3
The remainder of the east–west roads connect US 1 to A1A:
- State Road 528
- State Road 520
- State Road 404 over the Pineda
- The Eau Gallie Causeway (State Road 518)
- The Melbourne Causeway (U.S. Highway 192)
- The Wabasso Causeway at the south end of the Lagoon

Famous quotes containing the words indian, river, scenic and/or highway:
“The Indian gods are imposing, the Greek gods are not. Indeed they are not brave, not self-controlled, they have no manners, they are not gentlemen and ladies.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
“Hence from scenic bacchanal,
Preshrunk and droll prodigal!
Smallness that you had to spend,
Spent. Wench, whiskey and tail-end
Of your overseas disease
Rot and rout you by degrees.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“The most excellent and divine counsel, the best and most profitable advertisement of all others, but the least practised, is to study and learn how to know ourselves. This is the foundation of wisdom and the highway to whatever is good.... God, Nature, the wise, the world, preach man, exhort him both by word and deed to the study of himself.”
—Pierre Charron (1541–1603)
