With 2.5 miles of boardwalk and endless photo opportunities, Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is my number one destination when visiting the Naples area. The boardwalk winds through marsh, wet prairie and old growth Bald Cypress forest. This day wildlife sightings included Carolina wren and Pied-billed grebe fishing for crayfish. The sanctuary is just 30 minutes from the city of Naples. Entrance fees start at $14 per person with discounts for National Audubon members, students and children. Complete details about the sanctuary can be found at http://corkscrew.audubon.org.
