Cache Description: Stephen C. Foster State Park is named after the great songwriter from the 1800's. This GA State Park is unique in that it is enclosed within the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. A parking fee of $5 is required by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and is payable at the park office (the GA State Parks pass does not apply here). The coordinates at the top of the page are for the park office and store "way down upon the Suwanee River".
Entering Stephen Foster State Park takes you deep into the heart of Okefenokee Swamp. You are far from the hustle and bustle of life out here. You will be treated to the sounds of croaking frogs, woodpeckers and the wind in the cypress and pine trees. Power boats and canoes are available for rental, and with your GPS to guide you home you can confidently take a boat out and explore the black water swamp areas that surround the State Park. Since this is a Federal Wildlife Refuge, the geocache container is located inside the park office (open 8 AM - 5 PM).
