Donald was our guide...he was fun and informative. I liked his pictures he shared too. It is hot...bring lots of water....don't forget bug spray. If you are quiet you will hear the pug frogs and growling of alligators! So cool. The "pet" racoon is very accommodating to pictures and walking the run way but remember he is still wild!

I have severe COPD and cannot walk over 2 miles but I would love to see Corkscrew Swamp. Are you able to accommodate me? I would need an electric scooter or similar device.

Hi, they have free wheelchairs.

How many acres are in Corkscrew Sanctuary?

Joanne | Sep 16, 2018
mayra stallone | Sep 16, 2018

13000 acres. The walk is 2.25 miles

Are there many birds at this time of year???

Joni Coe | Sep 16, 2018
Robert Rabin | Sep 16, 2018

The number of birds has a lot to do with water level. The water level has been quite high lately and therefore all of the nature has been more dispersed. My last several trips have had relatively limited bird sightings although there have been hawk and a small assortment of other bird. If the water level drops there will be an increase in sightings.

Is this a good time to visit (May 5-15) or are the water levels too high after the last 2 weeks of rain?

LD Hook | May 18, 2022
Jeff Brown | May 18, 2022

I think the rain would make it more interesting, because you’ll see different animals and how the rain interacts with the landscape. Our host has been there in all seasons and said that she is always amazed at how different it looks. I would definitely still go.

We live in Naples. We have a very loud chirping bird up all night. Starts about 2 am & stops before sunrise. We live next to a large hedge. Any ideas of type of bird? The nest must be in these bushes next to our lanai! Thank you

Does the sanctuary have any observable Eagle nests?o

Alice D Cole | Sep 15, 2021
Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary-ONLINE TICKETS RECOMMENDED | Sep 15, 2021

Thanks for your inquiry. Currently there are none viewable from the boardwalk, though we have had some on our property in the past. I would suggest the Eagle Watch program at Audubon’s Center for Birds of Prey. And in Naples, there is an eagle nest on Starfish near Seagate Beach access.

Is the ghost orchid viable now

Diana Williams | Sep 15, 2020
John McGuire | Sep 15, 2020

Great question....and you may want to call the front desk at the swamp to confirm your question...but I believe this is the time of year that it germinates 😉 Good luck

Is there bus or RV parking available for the day? Would love to make a stop on our way through.

Dawn Fode | Sep 16, 2018
Richard Tasker | Sep 16, 2018

We parked our 39' RV with car trailer in the lot. However, there aren't many spaces to do that there. Don't go when it will be full. ( I.e. on the weekends). Do go however, as it is a great place to see lots of birds and some gators. If you are really lucky you might see a Florida Panther. Take a good camera if you have one.
