Every time I dip my oars into the blackwaters of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, I am overwhelmed: overwhelmed by silence, and overwhelmed by wild… overwhelmed by immensity, and overwhelmed by the micro. There is so much to the Okefenokee Swamp that, like the Grand Canyon, it just cannot be adequately described by even the best narratives or photography. As C.T. Trowell quoted in one of his books, “…it is not possible to convey the personality of this overwhelming place by word or picture. You must go to the Okefenokee to really understand its majesty.”

Nicely put William. The details of the Lord’s Creation are overwhelming but beautiful.
Thanks for your posts – God Bless!

I remember going there for a fourth grade field trip . It was really beautiful and it still is magnificent as ever. I remember going on the boat rides and climbing the forest fire tower . Listening to the guides it was a blast .
