Coontie Hatchee Kayak Landing

The City of Fort Lauderdale desired to create a kayak and canoe launch area at the Coontie Hatchee Landing Park located at 1116 SW 151th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale. The project required stabilizing the existing bulkhead wall, removing sections of the existing seawall adjacent to the South Fork New River, installing a new varying height and continuous concrete cap to join the wall sections, and creation of a mangrove island in the approximate location of the existing seawall. The project’s primary goal was the creation of a beach launching and landing area for canoes and kayaks.
