Explore the Okefenokee Swamp during every season of the year. This vast and mysterious wilderness in southeast Georgia is one of the largest wetlands in North America.
So thankful this beautiful swamp is protected. It is breathtaking to see such unspoiled natural diversity. Thank you to all who put this wonderful documentary together.
I found this film by recalling a story book tale "The Frog of Lake Okefenokee" and decided to see what it really was. What a wonderful video. I wish it had been twice as long.
My great grandmother and her siblings were from the area near this swamp before moving to the Midwest. during the great migration. I want to go visit the swamp and the entire region out of solidarity for my ancestors. Her oldest sibling i met in 2006. Never got the chance to meet my great grandma, blessed to have met her eldest sister.
My dad Junior Bell loved the swamp. Loved going fishing there in Folkston, Ga. He took me once with him and a teenage-alligator jumped in our john-boat. O_O
Richie Sacolic no humans stopped other humans from ‘conquering’ the swamp in order to protect the one of last environment of its kind being eradicated from the continent
@@lolllol6693 to a certain extent. Because it was very hard terrain to conquer and because it have recovered and sealed the wounds inflicted by humans. So Okefenokee defended itself no doubt. If it were blue grass lands of course there will be nothing left to protect
Are you still a naturalist at Okefenokee? I live in waycross. I tried to get in contact with a naturalist here not long ago. I've been identifying plants in the swamp
What if James Grider called it a cum bucket list? LOL. People need to buy my "Impact" a James Grider novel on Amazon so maybe I can afford to move to a swampoop like that. James Grider could dispatch an attacking gator by spawning the Wykkdik of Fhekris through its body.
There used to be a gator named Stump. It lost a limb in battle. I've been to the St. George side and took a boat out to walk on some of the islands to see the ruins.
I recognized a lot of the area on the video from camping and paddling trips. Been on three different trips across it and several single overnight ones. It is the best place for a 4 or 5 night wilderness canoe trip. Then completed extended trips down the St Marys River and Suwanee River over the years.
I would love to get in contact with whoever filmed this beautiful material. Does anyone know who did it? Would like to use some of the material in a music video for my band 'Swamp'.
I believe it's the same guy who do the documentary footage for one on silvers springs. I'll have to check his name. He was at the gainesville natural history museum tho

Beautiful! 💚
There is no other place like the Okefenokee, or other swamps, it's immortal and unique!!
The three day, 31 mile camping trip is definitely bucket list worthy. So much to see and experience.
Very fond of swamps. and wetlands. Thank you !
The beauty of this place makes me tear up a bit. So amazing. Headwaters of the Suwannee River

This is a very well-recorded and presented video! Thank you! I was looking to share a swamp video with some swamp wildlife. This is perfect!
Something to be said about a place that can hold it's own against man and remain this beautiful

Nobody wants that bug infested swamp

@Paolo Rossi Lucky
You grew up playing in a swamp? Must of had an odd childhood.
@@FSU-xn8em yeah, much more odd than the millions of kids looking at screens all day like dead fish in a swamp
@@ahmedalani3513
I agree with you, I grew up playing outside too. Wish kids did that more nowadays. I just didn’t play in swamps.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP!?
My swamp!
Very nice
I Love it there...........
awesome
Wondrous nature
Way cooler than our swamps in Louisiana. Ours are gorgeous, but the Okefenokee seems strange and exotic.
The water is clean. Technically, you can drink it. It's a hard but sweet place. There's no denying God made it.
Gator McClusky brought me here.
Bem bonito esse swamp hein
cool video
This is good for my kid
Fav video

Educate me pls. -- at 8:22 > 8:30 into this I thought I saw a chain around the gators head ? Any thoughts. Trap ? 5-20-2020 7:33 pm

I live on the line of northern Ohio and Indiana, really wished we maintained the black swamp rather than farm tycooning.

If you make me president I promise to make okefenookkee a parking lot.
I come from swap lands
There are people in there. Likely some outlaws and people that just want to be left alone.
The book "The Murk" brought me hete
Well okey dokey, Okefenokee.
Alec Holland and his bio restorative formula somewhere in there.
I wouldn’t want to go in it where there are gators in it
Wonjae Yi || i was there lol
Dont feed the gators! This way to the Everglades if you know the way! The bees....omg!
Why are there so many,
Songs about rainbows...
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions
But only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
