North Palm Beach is built around a network of waterways connected to the Intracoastal via the Earman River, with neighborhoods like Lost Tree Village, North Palm Beach Heights, and the Village of North Palm Beach offering deep canal frontage. Many of these canals were originally engineered to 5-7 feet NAVD88 and have shoaled considerably over the decades.
