Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. A shallow, 438,000-acre (177,000 ha), peat-filled wetland straddling the Georgia–Florida line and is the largest "blackwater" swamp in North America.

 

The Suwannee River and the St. Marys River, both originate in the swamp. The swamp was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1974.
