In April 2024, my daughter and I got permits to cross through the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge on a three-day paddle from Kingfisher Landing, westward to Stephen C Foster State Park. Our first evening was spent at the Maul Hammock Shelter. After a full day of paddling and photography, we arrived at Maul Hammock.
Maul Hammock is on the northern side of the Okefenokee Swamp. On a map, it appears that you are close to the refuge borders. But on the ground, you get the full sense of wilderness, far from any civilization… not considering the camping dock and privy, of course. I’m all for the wilderness experience, but I’m also thankful, and so is my daughter, that all the camping platforms have a restroom! They are usually stocked and fairly clean, but it is wise to bring your own paper.

I was very interested in just how high above the waterline the shelter is. I know our locals enjoy climbing up to a nice dry wooden spot to rest. Looks about high enough.
