Broadwater National Park
Broadwater National Park is located on the coast in an area bounded by Woodburn, Evans Head and Broadwater This tract of heath and wetland forms a community comprising of some of Australia's most interesting plants. Spring creates a vivid change, with multi-coloured wildflowers carpeting the landscape. This area is also a valuable example of the evolution and dynamics of coastal landforms which spread out over an area of 31, 729 ha.
The Park represents a well preserved example of the large sand dunes and gullies which were formed between the ice ages, some 60,000 years ago in the Pleistocene. The ridges are mainly wind blown sands which gradually accumulated against the existing rocks, some up to 30m above sea level.
Facilities at the Broadwater Beach Picnic Area just noth of the headland include a parking area, tables, gas barbecues and pit toilets. A viewing platform suitable for wheelchairs is provided on the Broadwater Headland which boasts spectacular coastal scenery. Birdwatching can be a most rewarding past time in the park.
A lookout is located along the Broadwater to Evans Head road with picnic and barbecue facilities provided. Located nearer the township of Evans Head is a 3km return walking track to Salty Lagoon.
