the coldest days and nights; have a robust insect repellent plan! Even in December, January, insects

can be intolerable, especially at sunrise, sunset and during the early evening hours.

Cell Phone Service:  Been here many times and personally never had service, but have been told

that others had intermittent service. The larger Stephen C. Foster State Park area of the Refuge is

notorious for having unreliable cell phone service. Do not rely on it here.  **Please keep in mind

service can vary based on carrier, type of phone, weather and sky conditions. Cell phone service is

never guaranteed in Okefenokee and this is based on individual experience.
