Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary invites visitors to step into one of the region’s most extraordinary wild places this fall. With fall migration underway, the sanctuary offers an opportunity to view migrating songbirds and other wildlife along the 2.25-mile boardwalk, beneath 500-year-old bald cypress trees.
