Folkston offers a wealth of activities and attractions at a gentle pace, surrounded by South Georgia’s pristine landscape. Folkston is the gateway to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses more than 396,000 acres and is one of the oldest and most well-preserved freshwater areas in the nation. The Satilla and St. Marys rivers flow here, providing excellent fishing, canoeing, kayaking, picnicking, camping and, of course, beautiful scenery. With abundant natural resources and a stable and growing industry base in and around the city, Folkston has much to offer residents and visitors alike.
