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:
“Well, that’s a nice social problem—an Indian in the family.”
—Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
“The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or other testimony of summer nights.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“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)
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
