[@slighwentwalking2024]

This is one of those places that is hard to accurately describe. Its a wilderness like few others. Its good to see this park covered on Paddle TV

Awesome place to paddle. Thanks for sharing. Ever been down to the Everglades Canoe trail . Same type of paddling with platform camping.

After living in Naples and paddling part of your trip many times in the mid 2000s I was waiting for the mosquito report. LOL I could not bring enough Off with me for my trips. I think I saw a few mosquitoes fly by carrying small cars at some point.

You take us to such cool places. Thanks although not sure I want to camp with alligators, think I will take my chances with bears.🤣

[@micktaylor7937]

Thanks Ken. Looks like a great trip!

Great video, looks amazing

[@keithtauber4153]

Looks like a fantastic place to bass fish.

Nothing like testing a new kayak around a bunch of gators. 🤣🤣😱😱

[@gilfolsom5980]

Looks fantastic! What month did you do it and any thoughts on the best time of the year to do it in terms of mild temperatures and less bugs?

[@crazybeardjones]

This trip was late April, the summer months are too hot and buggy to recommend, fall through spring is fantastic! Late February through April is the busiest time of year so plan well ahead for permits during those months. Come on down and see the Okefenokee!

​@crazybeardjones yes, late winter-early spring

[@lordenoch0]

Wow.

[@darrelltschetter8509]

Awesome video! If I could give it 2 likes I surely would.

[@just-dl]

I’d love to fly down there, rent a canoe and do this trip. Anyone organizing ventures like that?

Luckily that wasn’t mosquito 🦟 season!

[@tarzangv]

How's the skeeters? And other man eating fauna?

[@bongjamesbong00420]

Is paddle boarding possible

[@crazybeardjones]

No paddle boarding permitted in the Okefenokee, due to the huge Alligator population, but great paddle boarding further down the Suwannee!

Where's this is located

[@Wildland_Firefighter]

You can either go to Folkston, GA or Fargo, GA to enter the Refuge.
