The Corkscrew Sanctuary is a 2.25-mile raised boardwalk that takes visitors through several distinct habitats found within the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, including the largest remaining stand of ancient bald cypress in North America.
This natural system is managed by the National Audubon Society to maintain the native plants and animals found here and to preserve the natural processes that have been occurring for thousands of years. The boardwalk begins in pine flatwood, and later a spur leads to the site of an old plume hunter's camp in the flatwood. The boardwalk trail continues across and along the wet prairie.
