Looking Back: Stephen C. Foster State Park, Georgia

After visiting the NWR, we drove around the southern part of the park to the Stephen C. Foster State Park. The state leases this portion from the National Park Service. Again, we drove directly to the visitor's center, just in time to take another boat trip.

"Okefenokee" allegedly means "the land of the trembling earth". What here looks like solid ground, isn't. It is all floating. So it would certainly "tremble" if you walked on it, or tried to.

Again, we were overwhelmed by what we saw.

We saw a deer, here. this was no longer in the swamp but on solid ground.

And, yes, these critters too. They just don't look real when they lay around like this.

One swimming:

This darling little critter was in a leaf!

We stayed two nights in this park, in a cabin: living room, dining room, kitchen, full bath, two bedrooms, a huge screened in porch. Very nice.
