1. Notice to Navigation

The Canaveral Lock has experienced a loss of power and is currently inoperative. Troubleshooting is in progress and the estimated time of repair is Saturday, 18 May 2024.

Canaveral Lock, the largest navigation lock in Florida, is located between Port Canaveral's West turning basin and the Banana River. Canaveral Lock was constructed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1965 to secure safe passage of vessels from the Banana River to Port Canaveral and the Atlantic Ocean. The lock reduces tidal-current velocities in Canaveral Harbor, prevents entry of hurricane tides into the Banana River and prevents saltwater intrusion.
