What’s spongy, fibrous, and has the same name as your friend’s uncle? 👀

Pete! Erm, we mean Peat.

The Okefenokee’s peat deposits are the largest in the United States and reach a depth of 15 feet in some places, which is extra wild considering it takes about 50 years to build a single inch of peat.

Peat makes the Okefenokee what it is, and is the reason for the name Land of the Trembling Earth.

and now you know!

Summer is one of the best times to see reptiles in the swamp 👀

The Okefenokee is home to 64 reptile species - how many of these cold-blooded cool guys have you seen?

We know, it's HOT 🥵 but the swamp is still swamping.

Here are 5 great reasons to come visit the Okefenokee even though it's a billion degrees out.

1. Reptiles — reptiles love the heat, probably due to that whole cold-blooded thing they've got going on.
2. Birds — It's the last chance to see some visitors before they head south, and the perfect time to see year-round residents active!
3. Frogs — The tadpoles have made their transformation and a frog symphony fills the swamp every evening.
4. White Water Lily is in full bloom! Get out early and watch as the prairie goes from green to white with the sunrise.
5. Sunsets — The day cools off, the wildlife warms up, and the sky puts on a show. The swamp triple, we like to say.

Summer is one of the most active and unique times to check out the Okefenokee, just remember the sunscreen, sunglasses, and bugspray.

Ever wondered where the water in the Okefenokee comes from? 🤔

The Okefenokee is a primarily rain-fed ecosystem - there are no major rivers that feed into the swamp. Most of that water evaporates before it ever has the chance to flow out of the swamp, and yet the Okefenokee is still the headwaters of two major rivers: the Suwannee and the St Marys.

All filming activities were authorized by a Special Use Permit issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. No drone footage was filmed within the Okefenokee Wilderness.

Slow down and enjoy a foggy morning in the swamp.

One of the best parts about camping in the Okefenokee is waking up in the Okefenokee 👀
