J.W. Corbett WMA
Wedged between Florida’s expanding Gold Coast to the east and south and orange groves and agricultural fields to the west is 60,348-acre Corbett Wildlife Management Area. For at least 2000 years before Europeans arrived, Indians inhabited this land, burying their dead in mounds, accumulating the remains of their meals in middens, and traveling by canoe, sometimes on man-made causeways. In the 1800s the Seminoles sought refuge from the U.S. Army in Hungryland Slough. Today you can hunt deer, feral hog, turkey, and snipe in designated hunting areas and explore pine flatwoods, cypress swamps, and a hardwood hammock on Hungryland Boardwalk and Trail. Nearby is Everglades Youth Conservation Camp, offering summer camps for kids and year-round programs for families and educators. Observe sandhill cranes, rare roseate spoonbills, wood storks and other wading birds and camp along semi-circular ponds and fish for bluegill, bass, and catfish.
Visitor Information
Fees: A Daily-Use Permit is required to enter this area, unless you have purchased a Wildlife Management Area Permit. To hunt or fish you must also possess the appropriate license and permit.
Facilities
An entrance kiosk with area maps and brochures is located at the south entrance off Seminole Pratt Whitney Road. There is also a north entrance kiosk containing brochure boxes. A hiking trailhead, interpretive trail and boardwalk and picnic shelters are located at the Hungryland Recreation site near the Everglades Youth Conservation Camp. Some campsites on Corbett have fire rings.
Public Access
Due to the difficulty of accessing major portions of Corbett, certain motorized vehicles are allowed off the main roads during hunting seasons. The area is closed to public access the Sunday 2 weeks prior to the opening of archery season until 8:00 a.m. the day prior to the opening of archery season. However, hiking on the Florida Trial and use of the Hungryland Boardwalk is allowed year-round.
