Okefenokee Lily Pads

Lily pads cover the swampy waters in the Okefenokee near the Suwannee Canal area. This side of the swamp was devastate by fire in April 2011. Lightning was blamed for a fire in the refuge that burned and smoldered for nearly a full year. The blaze charred a total of 309,200 acres, or about 483 square miles, before authorities declared it was extinguished.
