Straddling the border between Georgia and Florida, this 438,000-acre wetland is the largest blackwater swamp in the country. This unspoiled piece of nature has remained relatively unchanged over the last several thousand years, except for the walkways and visitor towers for wildlife viewing. During your visit, you can take a boat tour of the swamp to see alligators, frogs, lizards, and snakes lurking in the marshes. Or you can take a walk through one of the trails that lead around the swamp to see the dense groves of cypress and oak trees.
