Corkscrew Swamp Overview and Visit

On a recent trip to Southwest Florida I went to the Chorkscrew Swamp Sanctuary operated by the Audubon Society. It is mainly comprised of a 2 mile raised boardwalk that take you through 6 different ecosystems. Great for kids and grandparents and is easy to navigate with a stroller or wheelchair. Allow 2 to 3 hours to see everything and come early when it is quiet and their are few other people. Buy your tickets online before you come out and there are Audubon lead programs through out the day. See the website corkscrew.audubon.org.

Great video, pictures, and information. I wish I was in the area to check it out, hopefully one day I’ll get down there. I have an oldish (~80’s) Audubon book but I didn’t know they did stuff like this.

Interesting history there. I guess Audubon has had a presence on site for a hundred years with wardens to protect the “hunting grounds”. Two were killed in the effort.
