natural
wonders, and is home to Laura S. Walker State Park and

The city sits on the northern edge of the Okefenokee Swamp, the land of the trembling earth, one of Georgia’s natural wonders. Waycross is home to one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. The swamp is teeming with wildlife and flora you won’t find anywhere else. Carnivorous pitcher plants, alligators and a seemingly endless variety of birds make Waycross the perfect place for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
