Coming Soon altered_edited.jpg

When I began visiting Okefenokee many years ago, it was difficult to find good information and photos of what to expect. After dozens of trips to the Refuge, I decided to write a guidebook and create this website to help others.

This information is 100% FREE, including my book (for download). It's the same guidebook that is sold at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.

I am committed to keeping this website as up-to-date as possible and to provide the absolute best Okefenokee information on the Web. If you like this information, or you find it helpful, please drop me a line and share it with a friend. I'm open to all feedback and look forward to hearing from you.
