About Stephen C. Foster State Park
120 acres of land sit within the Okefenokee Swamp, giving access to its wetland ecosystem. The park provides several ways for visitors to explore the swamp itself, putting people directly into the watery, forested terrain rather than just viewing it from a distance. Its footprint is small compared to the swamp surrounding it, functioning as a gateway into that larger landscape.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
