Okefenokee Adventures, nestled on the bank of the historic Suwannee Canal, is your embarking point into the Okefenokee Swamp. We have everything you need to make your exploration of the swamp comfortable and enjoyable.
Accompany us on a guided tour of the Suwannee Canal, open marshes dotted with cypress Islands, and winding trails where alligators and turtles bask on the banks and sand hill cranes watch you drift by...
We have all new canoes, kayaks and quiet four-cycle motor boats for rent. Don't bother packing a lunch – our Camp Cornelia Cafe offers sandwiches, burgers, sodas, and other refreshments. Enjoy them on our deck overlooking the canal or pack it with you.
Before you leave, you'll want to explore the bounty of educational and decorative gifts, tee–shirts, and momentos in our gift shop.
We love the Okefenokee Swamp and invite you to come and share this unique landscape with us.
