Severin Waterway, located in Charlotte County along the north bank of the Peace River, is known to some as old sailboat row. The sailboat friendly waterway runs north and south and is part of the larger Beeny and Bangsberg Waterway system. The entrance of the canal is directly across from Fisherman’s’ village in Punta Gorda, a boat friendly destination with many specialty shops and restaurants. The Peace River combines with the Little Alligator Creek and the Myakka River and flows into Gasparilla Sound, also known as Charlotte Harbor. Charlotte Harbor along with many of its connected canal systems are known as a boater’s paradise for their wide variety of wildlife.
