The Okefenokee Swamp Park (OSP) first opened its doors in 1946 at the northern entrance of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and has since welcomed millions of visitors from around the world. Seated primarily within Dixon Memorial State Forest just south of Waycross, Georgia, the park offers a rare and captivating glimpse into one of the most iconic and ecologically significant wetlands in North America.

Okefenokee Swamp Park offers interpretive boat tours along ancient waterways, strolls through wilderness boardwalks, encounters with ambassador animals, and a walk back through time on Pioneer Island. These experiences are designed to inspire curiosity and deepen connections to nature, history, and conservation. Operating as a nonprofit organization under a long-term lease, OSP Inc. does not receive federal or state funding. Instead, it thrives through visitor engagement, donor support, and community partnerships, all vital to its mission of education, stewardship, and public access.
