Solo and tandem canoes and kayaks are available for rent for those who want to explore the swamp on their own. It’s helpful to have some paddling experience but it’s not required. We’ll show you a map of the trails and send you on your way. The trails are well marked and easy to follow.

Bicycle Rentals

Georgia law requires that a bicycle helmet must be worn for anyone under the age of 16. Helmets are included with the price of the bicycle rental.

Bicycles are not permitted on any of the walking trails. Bicycles must stay on the paved roadway.

Bicycles are available to rent for exploring Swamp Island Drive in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, a scenic, 7.5-mile paved loop. The flat terrain makes for an easy, enjoyable ride, with bike racks at various trailheads so you can pause and venture on foot into the heart of the swamp.
