Originally, the Lake Worth Lagoon was a freshwater lake that had no existing connection to the ocean. However, in 1866 the Lake Worth Inlet was cut, located near the north end of the lagoon, and over time the lagoon became increasingly brackish. As pollution increased with human use, a second channel had to be cut to help cycle the water in what is known today as the Boynton Inlet. In modern times the Boynton Inlet is used primarily as a place to bird watch, enjoy the calm waters, and have easy access for storing boats off the ocean. Guests are invited to visit the Boynton Inlet at their leisure.
