Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
Naples, FL
A 2.25 mile boardwalk meanders through pine flatwoods, open prairie, and finally into the largest forest of ancient bald cypress in North America. These impressive trees, relatives of the redwood tower 130 feet in the sky and have a girth of 25 feet. Corkscrew's water is actually a slow moving river that flows to the southwest toward the Gulf of Mexico. Plants and trees help filter the water, keeping it sweet and clear. The forest is also home to hundreds of alligators, otters, Florida black bear, white-tailed deer and red-bellied turtles.
