Okefenokee Swamp Park, Georgia
November 18-19, 2010
The Okefenokee Swamp Park is located in deep south Georgia and on the Florida border and is an amazing little gem. It's a National Wildlife Refuge and covers nearly a half million acres. Boating is the main attraction here where you can meander down the river and see alligators everywhere you look! It was one of our most memorable and unique experiences so far!
Our Accommodations - Okefenokee Swamp Park
The drive into the swamp refuge is 23 miles to nothing except the park itself so thank goodness there's a fantastic Okefenokee Campground here. The sites were large and private but still very open.
Canoe Trip Down the Okefenokee
We couldn't have asked for a more calm and sunny day to canoe down the river. We were the only ones on the water and it was serene, quiet and calm. Everywhere we looked there were alligators and floating the Okefenokee, was a wonderful experience that we'll never forget.
