Lake Goodwin has year around fishing opportunities!
Lake Goodwin is a freshwater lake located in Snohomish County. While Lake Goodwin is not a very large body of water, it is impossible to fish the entire lake in a few days, let alone one day.
The lake is located just 3 miles from Puget Sound and north of the Tulalip Reservation. The boat launch is maintained by Snohomish County Parks. There is a day use park only located at the north end of the lake.
The only boat ramp is located closer to the south end of the lake and can be accessed off East Lake Goodwin Road.
