General Location:  North, very remote part of the Refuge.

Trail:  Red Trail.

GPS Coordinates for Campsite:  31°00'58.4"N, 82°15'23.8"W or 31.016233, -82.256600

Type of Camping:  Platform in water. No dry land.

Mileage to Other Points of Interest:

Kingfisher Landing - 12 miles

Big Water – 9 miles

Notes:  For strong paddlers only. The paddle from Kingfisher to Maul Hammock can be a

challenge. It’s nearly all open prairie and grasslands. This can make the 12 mile haul seem much

longer than it already is. There are no rest stops or places to get out and stretch your legs.

At night, to the north, you’ll see some faint Waycross, GA lights. The campsite has a vault/pit toilet.

When I began visiting Okefenokee many years ago, it was difficult to find good information and photos of what to expect. After dozens of trips to the Refuge, I decided to write a guidebook and create this website to help others.

This information is 100% FREE, including my book (for download). It's the same guidebook that is sold at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.

I am committed to keeping this website as up-to-date as possible and to provide the absolute best Okefenokee information on the Web. If you like this information, or you find it helpful, please drop me a line and share it with a friend. I'm open to all feedback and look forward to hearing from you.
