Stephen C. Foster State Park, Natural wildlife park in Fargo, Georgia, United States
The park contains thousands of cypress trees with Spanish moss surrounding black water surfaces where alligators swim among native aquatic plants.
The establishment of this park as part of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in the 1930s helped preserve one of North America's largest wetland systems.
Visitors and researchers gather data about the native species, including the red-cockaded woodpecker population, contributing to conservation science education.
The park provides canoe rentals, guided boat tours, and camping facilities, with gates closing at 10 PM and a required entrance fee of 5 dollars.
The International Dark Sky Association certifies this location for its minimal light pollution, making it an excellent spot for viewing the Milky Way.
