How big is the swamp that the Stephen C Foster State Park is located in?
Okefenokee Swamp The Okefenokee Swamp is a shallow, 438,000 acre , peat-filled wetland straddling the Georgia–Florida line in the United States. A majority of the swamp is protected by the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and the Okefenokee Wilderness. The Okefenokee Swamp is considered to be one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia. The Okefenokee is the largest "blackwater" swamp in North America.
Carrum Carrum Swamp The Carrum Carrum Swamp encompassed 52 square kilometres with a catchment area of 735 square kilometres. It had four outlets to the Port Phillip Bay, including Kananook Creek/Eel Race Drain, Patterson River and Mordialloc Creek. Explorer William Hovell discovered "a very extensive fresh water marsh, from 12 to 15 miles long and 11/2 to 6 broad, and only separated from Port Phillip by a narrow ridge or bank of sand not more than from two hundred to three hundred yards wide." A painting titled “Lagoon in the Carrum Carrum Swamp – evening 1872” by James W Curtis is held at the National Gallery of Australia.
