Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, located about 30 minutes northeast of Naples, Florida, is a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance recognized for its rich biodiversity, including the largest-remaining old-growth bald cypress forest. With exhibits, artwork, and the iconic 2.25-mile-long boardwalk, the Blair Visitor Center is the gateway to an enchanting wilderness with giant cypress trees that have lived here for nearly 600 years. A wide variety of wading birds, songbirds, and raptors can be seen throughout the year, while the fabulous Painted Bunting is one of many winter visitors.

The Blair Visitor Center and boardwalk are open daily at 8 a.m., with the last admission two hours before closing time.  Obtaining tickets online is recommended.
