The water in the canals of Bayside Estates is brackish. Typical Gulf water is approximately 6% salt (by weight). The water in our canals is less than that and there are several benefits of having brackish water:

• Atomically will flush your motor after each use which extends the motor life.
• Constant level of water, not affected by high and low tides.
• Water and wildlife is more abundant in brackish water. Mangrove and Black Rush foliage surround the parameter of canals which protects our wildlife.

• The lock has a few restrictions which we urge all of our boaters to heed:
• Boat length limited to 27 foot (LOA)
• Maximum beam is 9 feet
• Dry displacement (weight) 5,200 pounds
• No passengers in the boat as it is moved onto the lift

The locking process - Passengers must not be onboard!
