l lamed after songwriter Stephen Foster, this remote park is a primary entrance to the famed Okefenokee Swamp and is one of the most fascinating areas in Georgia. Mosslaced cypress trees reHect off the black swamp waters, providing breathtaking scenery. Visitors can look for alligators, turtles, raccoon, bear, deer and 223 species of birds while on the park's elevated boardwalk trail or on a guided boat trip. More adventurous visitors may wish to rent boats for further exploration of the swamp. The park office sells drinks, snacks, ice. books and t-shirts. Because the park is located within a National Wildlife Refuge , gates are locked at closing time and an entrance fee is charsed.
