Stephen Foster State Park, Okefenokee Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, Fargo, Georgia

 We stopped for breakfast at First Watch Restaurant which was on our route out of Beaufort, South Carolina as we headed to the Okefenokee Swamp. We stopped to shop for groceries and get gas as the State Park is out in a remote area from the small town of Fargo. We checked into the recently renovated park in a huge pull through site that I forgot to get a picture of.  We were disappointed that they had the marina under renovation so the nature board walk by the swamp was closed. We hiked the other two nature trails before sundown. We did our air fryer chicken wings and corn on the cob and enjoyed the quiet park except for the sounds of birds. We got up early for the Sunrise ranger walk as it was Swamp Day on Tuesday. We packed up and headed towards home.
