  • by Fred

The Okefenokee Swamp in southeast Georgia is among the most underrated places to visit in the US. Yet, this wilderness has much beauty and adventure to offer. Covering about 640 square miles, this amazing "black water" swamp has iconic Spanish moss-covered live oaks, kneed cypress, eagles, osprey, snakes, and, of course, the American alligator. The much larger Everglades National Park in Florida gets more attention, but Okefenokee is astoundingly beautiful and accessible.
