The Okefenokee Swamp is a shallow, 400,000-acre, peat-filled swamp located near the southern border of Georgia, in the United States. It is the largest freshwater swamp â¦ in North America. It is believed to have been a prehistoric salt marsh.
After buying 238,120 acres of the Okefenokee from the State of Georgia, began digging a canal to drain water from the swamp so it could be turned into plantations for rice, sugar cane and cotton.The venture didn't go as hoped, so the canal company turned its attention to logging.
