T. M. Goodwin Waterfowl Management Area - Unimproved Launch Site at Broadmoor 5R

This unimproved launch site provides access to the Broadmoor Marsh Unit of the T.M. Goodwin Waterfowl Management Area, a 6,270-acre wetland restoration project in Brevard County. The site is best suited for kayakers and canoeists exploring the protected marsh environment, which offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities including nesting wading birds (January-July) and diverse waterfowl. Vehicle access is available, though users should be aware that access roads can be unpaved and dusty during dry conditions.

**Before visiting**, check current operational hours and access restrictions, as the area has limited public access days. A valid Florida fishing license is required for fishing activities, and permits may be needed for certain uses. Contact 352-732-1225 for permit information and current conditions. The site's proximity to the upper St. Johns River basin makes it ideal for paddlers interested in exploring restored wetlands and viewing wildlife from the water.
