The Okefenokee Swamp, North America’s biggest blackwater wetland, stretches across almost 700 square miles in southeastern Georgia. Famous for its “trembling earth” islands of peat, the swamp is alive with wildlife, like alligators, wading birds, and endangered species. As a key part of the ecosystem, it’s the starting point for the Suwannee and St. Marys rivers. As the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, this special place gives you amazing chances to see wildlife.
