Here Is The Most Remote, Isolated Spot In Georgia And It’s Positively Breathtaking

Every once in a while, a break from everything is completely necessary. Tuck away the technology, drive far, far away from the light pollution, and leave behind all your cares and worries. If you live in a city, this might be difficult to achieve. However, we’re here to help. We’ve looked for the most remote, isolated spots in the state of Georgia and came up with one conclusive answer. The most remote place in Georgia, which happens to be positively breathtaking, is none other than Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.

It’s fairly unlikely that you’ll come across another human being in the Okefenokee Swamp.

In fact, this is the type of remote, isolated spot in the state where man is the visitor, and wildlife rules the roost.

This vast, blackwater swamp is a 38-mile by 35-mile spread of islands, lakes, bald cypress, and tall prairie grass.

Not to mention home to a whole slew of wildlife.

Okefenokee straddles the Georgia-Florida state line, and in fact, is just a short drive from Jacksonville, Florida.

However, it is quite far from civilization.

More than 350,000 acres on Georgia’s side are specifically federal wilderness only.

This means that not everyone can just drive up and see some of the best parts of the swamp.

You’ll need to access the true beauty of this remote spot by canoe, kayak, or paddleboard.

But make sure you keep an eye out for gators, bears, and snakes.

After all, it is their home you’re visiting.

If you want to take a trip to Okefenokee Swamp to find some peace and quiet, you can start here at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife website to plan your trip.
