CREW Marsh Trails

Besides just being an excellent place to hike, this site offers a great introduction to the myriad habitats of the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW). Trail loops wind through pine flatwoods, oak hammocks, popash slough and sawgrass marsh. Observation decks offer elevated views into the marsh where the swallows and wading birds are sometimes joined by Snail Kites and Bald Eagles. Swallow-tailed Kites nest here each spring, and the large trees in the hammocks give shelter to many woodpeckers and flycatchers and provide an interesting place for warbler fallout during spring and fall migration.
