I think it is so important for people of all ages to get out and get into nature, to feel our human connection with incredible places like the Okefenokee Swamp.

Some people don't want to paddle- we conduct boat tours! Some people don't like boats- paddle with us! Don't want to be on the water at all? Request a land-based guided walk. Just need a canoe? We deliver and pick up our rental boats to wherever you need! However you do it, just getting out there is what matters!

Send your Okefenokee Swamp, Satilla River, St. Marys River, or Suwannee River tour requests to [email protected], or visit okefenokee-satilla.com to experience the adventure, nature, and beauty of our southern waters. Tour types and lengths vary by location.

This lovely lineup was from the Satilla Riverkeeper paddle I helped lead this morning. What a gorgeous day to be on the water! 🛶❤ Y'all go give them a follow if you don't already, and come out to the next one! They work hard to help keep our beautiful Satilla clean, safe, and accessible for all.

Today, a guest from spring came back with a friend and paddled with me again, this time on a 5 mile downstream float through a magical place in called The Narrows. We began our trip at Stephen C. Foster State Park, one of the entry points into the Swamp.

Here you see the water of Okefenokee flowing steadily westward, where it exits the Swamp at the Sill and becomes the beloved Suwannee River, meandering on its long journey to the Gulf of Mexico. The water level was low, exposing the buttressed trunks of cypresses. We saw a TON of gators (including the very big ones typically seen at the Sill) and bird life of all kinds.

Book your personalized paddle trip this fall in by emailing us at [email protected], or visit okefenokee-satilla.com! Request a Narrows trip and you can be a part of this very scene too. 😍

I'm not always on the water when I teach and share my love of the Okefenokee Swamp with people! Today I'm leading kids with Camp Charlie on the Chesser Island Boardwalk in Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge (we played campfire games last night!), and after that I'm heading to the other side of the Swamp to talk to paddlers with Georgia Rivers this evening!

Candid post ahead-

I have loved camping ever since I was a teenager, camping in a tent in my backyard for the very first time. I've camped super lean and minimalist on backpacking trips in the mountains of Georgia and I've luxuriously car camped in places like Yosemite and Kings Canyon National Parks out west. But king of all camping to me is canoe camping.

I sometimes get asked if I camp with a canoe or kayak on my trips, and the answer is canoe, every time. I enjoy kayaking for short day trips, but I prefer my canoes. They can easily hold as much as you want, and I find them far more comfortable for multi hour days on the water. My body mechanics prefer the motions of canoeing, too; I can canoe all day and still feel great. Of course they make big fishing kayaks these days that can hold a lot and you can stand on (I'm looking at you, Chris Funk!), so there really is something for everyone.

If people like kayak camping with minimalist gear and equipment, that's awesome! If people go all out and bring everything they can find with them canoe camping, that's awesome too. If you're going in a mixed group, just make sure that no one person is carrying most of the food, water, gear, and equipment. That's just good camping etiquette. Oh, and don't rock the boat!

Now, I'm off to start packing for a little camping visit to the St. Marys River. 🛶

What are your camping preferences? Canoe, kayak, car, backpacking... horseback?!

It was an absolutely beautiful morning for a 4 hour paddle in the Swamp! 7 of my group of 8 guests were from Germany and it was their first time in Okefenokee. I don't know what pleased them more, the oodles of gators we saw, or the two barred owls that I got to start calling back to me when I made their call!

Our trip today was on the east side of Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in the Suwannee Canal Recreation Area.

We are so blessed to have such a beautiful, wild land to call home and to share with the world!
