On select Saturdays throughout the year, the staff at Beidler Forest invites you to join them on a guided nighttime journey through the swamp. You will immerse yourself in the sensation of being a part of the nocturnal life of the sanctuary, while your guide answers any and all questions you may have. You will thrill to the sight of the ancient trees, flowing water and moving shadows bathed in the light of the moon. The sounds of the ancient swamp will delight you on your walk, the same as they have delighted all for centuries. Come join us and listen for the call of the Barred Owl and watch for the glint of alligator eyes....

Reservations are required for night explorations, with all groups being limited to no more than 20. This walk is NOT recommended for children under 10. These programs last between two and two and a half hours. Flash photography and tripods are not permitted. We are currently doing online reservations and do not admit walk ins.
