​Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is an Important Bird Area, part of the Atlantic Flyway for bird migration, is the gateway site for the southwest region of the Great Florida Birding Trail, and is a Ramsar designated Wetland of International Importance. 

Enjoy a night in the swamp on this Audubon Naturalist guided walk which brings you into the swamp when the nocturnal animals are out and vocal, and on a clear night the night sky is especially nice here.  You never know what you will hear or see on a visit to Corkscrew Sanctuary but a night visit should bring the sounds of calling insects, possibly owls and alligators and most likely a surprise or two!  You will also learn about the nocturnal biodiversity of the swamp and adaptations that enable nocturnal wildlife to thrive.

Start times vary according to the sunset time on the day of the program.  When you register check for start time on the reservation date you choose.

Your naturalist will meet you in our visitor center fifteen minutes prior to the program start time.  We will be travelling the entire boardwalk (2 miles in length).  Night Walks are about 2.25 hours in length.   A night visit to the swamp will make this an evening you won't soon forget.  

*Participants should not bring white-light flashlights, as those ruin everyone's night vision.  We will have red-light flashlights that we will bring along in case we want to use them.
