Every once in a while, a break from everything is completely necessary. Tuck away the technology, drive far, far away from the light pollution, and leave behind all your cares and worries. If you live in a city, this might be difficult to achieve. However, we’re here to help. We’ve looked for the most remote, isolated spots in the state of Georgia and came up with one conclusive answer. The most remote place in Georgia, which happens to be positively breathtaking, is none other than Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.
It’s fairly unlikely that you’ll come across another human being in the Okefenokee Swamp.

You’ll need to access the true beauty of this remote spot by canoe, kayak, or paddleboard.

But make sure you keep an eye out for gators, bears, and snakes.
