The Stephen Foster State Park is located in the heart of the Ockefenokee Swamp Wilderness. If traveling to Florida during the winter plan on spending time at this wonderful State park. From Interstate 75 take the Georgia Highway 94 exit (Exit 2) and travel east 40 miles to Fargo and the entrance to the swamp.
