Ranger Dave (my SIL) took us on a hike through the Corkscrew
yesterday. There is a raised trail going through the Corkscrew that
used to be the rail bed for a narrow gauge rail line they used for
harvesting cypress up until the 50s. It was a pleasant walk with lots
of birds and a couple gators ... no bugs.
It was one of the properties he managed when he worked for South
Florida Water Management.

Is that the trail in the picture? Doesn't look like it would be much fun to walk
through.

The trail is elevated above the swamp (an old rail bed). It is really
pretty cool because you get the feel you are right in there but you
are high and dry. It is a little known secret around here.
