We were here on May 11th, but there was no swamp. It was dried up. The board walk was nice and the nature was beautiful, but there was very little wildlife to be seen. We were expecting to see a swamp, so we were disappointed that it was dry. I am glad that we went here, but I would not... more

My family visited Corkscrew on a Wednesday morning in mid-April. The visitor center looked nice, but we made our way out to the boardwalks to get touring. I have some mobility problems but had no trouble on the miles of level boardwalk. There weren't too many other visitors, and everyone was quiet and respectful. Some seemed to be serious birders,... more

It had been about 10 years since my last visit to the swamp, where I used to go to escape crowds, and do sketches and paintings of the flora and fauna in the sanctuary. Took my wife there recently (She had never been) extolling the virtue of the area. The immokalee road was un-recognizable. Malls and condos stretch far and... more

Got there early on Christmas day and there was only one other couple out there at that time. Parking lot was almost full by the time we left, so definitely get there early and you'll have the place virtually to yourself. First half of the walk was a little disappointing for viewing wildlife, but keep your eyes open, during the... more

Corkscrew is an amazing place if you like to see wildlife, especially birds. We planned to be there about 2 hours and they had to kick us out 4 hours later! My recommendation is that if you are serious about seeing wildlife, you should go early in the morning- they open at 7am. Not only are the animals more likely... more

Excellent path through some spectacular scenery, but the drought has severely diminished the wildlife. Still, a great walk on a nice boardwalk. Able to see some animals and the staff was great. A nice getaway from the golf/beach/shopping scene in Naples - will most definitely return when SW FLA gets some more rain. more

One of the best nature boardwalks I have ever seen. Probably best to go in dry season (winter) as bugs are not a problem and aligators are more concentrated. A superb spot for birders. more

My wife and I toured the grounds (huge) during the 2nd week of January, 2007. This was our second visit. You walk a boardwalk through some of the most pristine and interesting terrain in South Florida. We saw many animals and birds including a very rare multi-colored bird - name of which escapes me now, but was told it's name... more

These nature places can be a little hit and miss, but wow did we hit lucky or is it always like this. Two Owls roosting in a tree was possibly the highlight. Aligators, Turtles, more bird species than I can remember. My only regret is we left it until 3pm to visit I wish I'd had more time. $30 for... more
