About Stephen C. Foster

Named for the songwriter who immortalized Georgia's Suwannee River, this 120-acre park serves as a primary entrance to the legendary Okefenokee Swamp. The 438,000-acre refuge harbors an estimated 12,000 alligators along with black bears, wood storks, and rare red-cockaded woodpeckers. Designated an International Dark Sky Park, the remote location offers exceptional stargazing opportunities.
