The Upper St. Johns River Basin Project spans 166,500 acres in Indian River and Brevard counties, featuring four water management areas, four marsh conservation areas, and two marsh restoration areas. It emphasizes minimal water control structures and construction, reinforcing dikes and redirecting agricultural drainage to enhance water quality and marsh ecosystems. Designed to hold up to 500,000 acre-feet of water during severe storms, it provides natural flood protection.

🚧REMINDER - Roadwork update for Fellsmere Grade 🚧
Starting tomorrow, the District will begin paving the Fellsmere Grade roadway with a flexible pavement to reduce future maintenance. One lane of traffic will stay open, though visitors may experience some delays.
⛔ Please note: The C-54 boat ramp will be closed from Nov. 18-25. However, the Headwaters and Fellsmere Grade Recreation Area (Stickmarsh) boat ramps will remain open for access during this time. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve this roadway!
