Went for a two night camp. Nice, roomy sites with power and water. Boat tours, boat rentals, canoe rentals. Lots of gators. Woke up last morning to visiting deer. Walked right by the rear of our camp. Plenty of wildlife, turkey, deer, raccoons, hawks, owls and woodpeckers. Store on site with knowledgeable, friendly staff. Great visit.

Several parks in Georgia are named after people, and most of those folks are either military leaders or legislators. Stephen Foster got a state park named after him by simply writing a popular song in 1851 that uses the river of the state park in its title and lyrics. From what I read he just picked a random river in the Southeast that had a nice “poetic” name and then wrote “Way Down on the Swanee Ribber.” The state park resides in the swamps of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and the Suwanee River cuts through it. We stopped by on our way back from Florida, had a picnic, toured the museum, and hiked the nature trail. If we visit again I’d like to rent one of the canoes or boats from their marina and follow some of the canoe trails.

Fabulous scenery! They have boat tours but we didn't get there in time for one of them. WOW​! The hiking trail we went on was awesome. It's a great way to see a part of the famous Okefenokee Swamp! It was mostly a boardwalk trail. Didn't see any gators but lots if other wildlife, especially spiders! Big ones! Very neat experience!

It was amazing and surreal. I loved every moment of it. Definitely worth going!

This is a really good park. Lots to do and see. If you're really adventurous, rent a boat for yourself and see Billy's Island.
