Overview
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary protects one of the most extraordinary wild landscapes in Florida. Its 13,000 acres include old-growth bald cypress, wet prairie, pine flatwoods, marsh edges, and native plantings around the visitor center. A 2.25-mile boardwalk carries visitors into a cathedral-like swamp where birds, butterflies, and seasonal blooms create constant movement. For hummingbird travelers, the sanctuary is especially interesting in the cooler months, when Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and occasional western vagrants may appear around feeders, butterfly plantings, and nectar-rich habitat. Corkscrew belongs on the Hummingbird Trail because it combines Audubon authority, public access, strong photography potential, and a landscape that feels distinctly Floridian. It is less manicured than a formal garden, but far richer as an ecological destination.
