J.W. Corbett

When to Visit

In the fall, hunting pressure on Corbett is intense. Hunters can camp at a number of sites and enjoy fishing in semi-circular, stocked manmade ponds. The Hungryland Slough Boardwalk and Trail is far from the hunting area and is open year-round. Hiking along the 1.2-mile trail is most pleasant in the fall, winter, and spring. In the spring and fall, the oak hammocks and cypress swamps along the trail are alive with the songs of large numbers of migratory warblers. During the fall and winter, you may see some of the up to 20 pairs of sandhill cranes that nest on the area. In the summer, the Everglades Youth Conservation Camp offers a host of programs for youth and their families. The cooler, drier months of the year are good for camping and wading bird observation.

Hunters must comply with all hunting regulations
