Fort Lauderdale
Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale explains that the New River became a trading route to the Stranahan Trading Post, and that Fort Lauderdale grew up around that site. The Riverwalk Park now spans the river's north and south banks downtown.
The City of Fort Lauderdale traces its name to an 1838 Second Seminole War fort on the New River. The first fort stood at the river's fork and a later one at Tarpon Bend. The city was incorporated on March 27, 1911.
Riverwalk says a 1986 general obligation bond put $7.4 million toward Riverwalk Linear Park and $8 million toward what's now the Museum of Discovery and Science. Early settlers also brought their harvest to the river for rail shipment north. Esplanade Park sits at the foot of the Broward Center and has navigational and weather exhibits. Stranahan House is the 1901 trading post.
Water Taxi lists a stop at the Riverside Hotel and Stranahan House on SE 6th Avenue. The city also provides a free Water Trolley, operated by Water Taxi, with stops at Riverwalk Laura Ward Park, Huizenga Plaza, Riverfront Plaza, Esplanade Park, Tarpon River and Smoker Park, among others.
Slips, rules and conditions change. Please check directly with the marina or agency, and see Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale for current information.
