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 in North America. It is believed to have been a prehistoric salt marsh. The name means "trembling earth" in an American Indian language.
