    What a fun way to spend an afternoon. Courteous and knowledgeable owners. We came out because our 8…read moreyear old was set on riding a horse. Brandon ensured we were all comfortable and well situated on our horses. He and another trainer Kayla walked the course with our girls ages 8 and 11 which made this Momma very happy. Our trail was 30min long and took us through what they called the fairy garden - the girls loved that idea. Other rides can be longer but because we had the littles this time length and speed fit us perfectly. The location is very easy to find coming in from Fort Myers. Our GPS took us right in. The weather was beautiful, it was awesome to be outside and on the horses. All total it was around 40 per rider. They have the ability to take credit cards and you can tip on the card.

    My girlfriend and I are on vacation from NY and staying at our house in Ft. Myers. We wanted to add…read moremore adventure into the mix so we decided to check out 5 Star Stables. We drove 45 minutes to the Stables and I realized that I should've called up in advance and made a reservation but Brandon told me if I wait about an hour, he'd gladly squeeze us in for a 1.5 hour trail ride. They were ready for us promptly and quickly got us mounted up and ready to go on Cutter and Pico. The trail ride through the woods was great and Brandon was a great guide, keeping us engaged and answering any questions we had about anything and everything. The time flew by and it was an absolute great time. I am going to make it a point to go to 5 Star Stables every time I come down here for vacation from now on. We paid $75/each for 1.5 hours and I think that is more than fair! I highly, highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a horseback riding adventure!

    CREW is the acronym for the sixty thousand acre Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed. The CREW…read moreLand & Water Trust was established in 1989 as a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to purchase land, manage it, and offer public outreach. The CREW project includes parts of southern Lee and northern Collier Counties in southwest Florida. The Corkscrew Marsh, Bird Rookery Swamp, Flint Pen Strand, Camp Keais Strand, and the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary are all CREW lands. Fifty-five thousand acres of CREW land is in preservation and it provides flood protection, water filtration and important aquifer recharge. They would like to purchase even more land in order to preserve natural resources such as water and to offer protection for wildlife. I have been fortunate enough to explore several of the CREW properties and each is a treasure of native plants and animals and unspoiled wilderness. The CREW Cypress Dome Trails is also known as Gate 5. A cypress dome is a swamp that has mainly pond cypress and bald cypress trees. Tall trees are at the center with smaller trees at the edge which creates a dome effect. The moist environment is also ideal for other plants, shrubs, and trees. The dome removes carbon emissions and stores water, recharges the aquifer, and provides drinking water. In the dome you can expect to find flatwoods salamanders, white ibis, and wood storks. Be aware that black bears and panthers also live here. There are six miles of loop trails that traverse through pine flatwoods, oak hammocks, wet prairie, popash slough, and two cypress domes. Trails are flat grass and sand. The trail connects to the Caracara Prairie Preserve which is owned and maintained by Conservation Collier. A $3 cash donation is suggested for use of the trail. Trail maps are located at the trailhead along with one port-a-potty. Bring your own water.This trail allows horseback riding With a free special use license from South Florida Water Management. During my visit it was hunting season. Although I didn't hear any shots being fired all of the signs about it made me feel nervous. I went down the trail a way before becoming uncomfortable and deciding to head back. I don't know why they allow the shooting of migratory birds. I can't imagine flying 1,500 miles to Florida to get shot by a hunter. SMH. The only thing I want to shoot birds with is my camera. I'll be back after hunting season. Hopefully some birds will have survived the hunt.

    This beautiful nature preserve is home to a variety of really cool native species (both plants and…read moreanimals) which makes for an adventurous hike! The camping site is also a calming space to practice yoga under the trees, which was a nice way to unwind from the long hike through the trails. I will definitely be coming back here. * Tip: hike barefoot, it feels great!! *

    The Corkscrew boardwalk is always a pleasure, even when the animals are hiding! On our most recent…read morevisit the first half of the boardwalk was quiet - some bird calls in the distance but no sightings. The second half was quite different - numerous bird sightings including a barred owl and numerous egrets, an alligator and, for the first time ever, two otters! Every trip is different- sometimes it is just a quiet walk in the woods, sometimes the animals decide to share with us. It isn't a zoo, it is nature so anything can happen.

    I do want to say that I love Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and have been going since I was a kid. This…read moretime, I got to bring my kids who are 12 (twins). My caveat is, perhaps, to call the Sanctuary and see how dry it is? When we visited, there was no "swamp" to be seen for much of it, and I've been many times so I knew where the water was supposed to be but because of the drought - nope. This made about 75% of the boardwalk walk very boring for my kids as there really were no animals to see. It was only when you get to the lettuce lake area that we spotted a few alligators. I was not happy that we drove an hour for my kids to not see much and be bored (and frankly, so was I). The Audubon does a fantastic job, the visitor center is wonderful, and the info on the trails is great...but the "no swamp swamp" got to us on this visit.
