Don't get caught with snake hooks, bags, etc within the park.
Don't get caught touching, harrassing or otherwise interacting with any of the animals within the grounds of the Okeefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. A Wildlife Refuge (Okeefenokee National Wildlife Refuge) is VERY different from the state park system where you might get away with removing an animal or two if the park rangers don't care. The Game Wardens at a refuge are federal officers who will confiscate all of your equipment and write you a federal ticket.
On the other hand, there are still gators and snakes and turtles out and visible in the refuge.
I have had my own personal run-ins with the game law enforcement officers at the Okeefenokee Park. I even had permission to have my own snakes in the park for an Earth Day Presentation from the Park Supervisor (I was there at her request!) and they still stopped by and threatened to take my snakes and tools. I was very easy going with them and respectful of their "I am the officer in charge" demeanor and we worked things out once they realized that it was their supervisor who had made the mistake and not me.
I am just trying to warn you that under no circumstances do you want to be caught with an animal within the park for any reason. Federal charges tend to stay with you.

Thanks for your advice,but I wasnt going to look in a park. I was going to drive around and look for good places. The weird thing is is that I met someone about an hour ago that lives in the Okefenokee region and he told me a good place to go.
