The Okefenokee Swamp is a shallow, 400,000 acre (1600 km²), peat-filled marsh 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 bordered by the Trail Ridge west of the marsh and the Saint Marys River to the east.
