The Okefenokee Swamp is a shallow, 400,000 acre (1600 km²), peat-filled swamp located near the southern border of Georgia, in the United States. It is the largest freshwater swamp in North America. It is believed to have been a prehistoric salt marsh. The name means "trembling earth" in a Native American language.
It is also the home of the comic strip character Pogo.
