Okefenokee Swamp

(Explore! July 28, 2009, best position #274) - thanks to all who viewed/commented/faved!!

 

During our recent beach trip, the other dads and I took the kids to the Okefenokee Swamp to feed them to the alligators for a day trip. The place is huge! We took a boat tour through a portion of the swamp, watched a nature show, and then finished with a short train tour.

The wonderworld of Okefenokee is a significant part of America’s heritage, a beautifully preserved segment of what was here when America began.

 

Headwaters of the Suwannee and St. Mary’s Rivers, Okefenokee is a National Wildlife Refuge which covers nearly a half million acres.

 

Okefenokee Swamp Park is a convenient point of entry and a magnificent show-window for the “Land of the Trembling Earth.
