Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia May Be the Next UNESCO World Heritage Site

"This western access point to the swamp, located in Fargo, serves as a hub for trails, overnight stays, and nighttime sky programs and is designated a dark-sky site. Visitors can join boat tours from the park to view alligators and waterfowl, attend spring events like a “Swamper’s Guide to the Galaxy” stargazing talk, and use on-site camping (including accessible sites) or cottages that sleep up to eight. Note that the campground was under renovation at the time of publication and that boat tours may be affected by water levels; entry fees and park passes apply." - Caroline Eubanks Caroline Eubanks Caroline Eubanks is a Lowell Thomas Award-winning travel writer and the author of “This Is My South: The Essential Travel Guide to the Southern States.” Her work has been published by Condé Nast Traveler, Garden & Gun, Architectural Digest, and more.
