For those of you that don't have to rush back the first thing Sunday morning, the Grand Bay Nature Center, about 20 minutes from VSU, has a nice boardwalk and observation tower. A little farther, about an hour away in Fargo, is the western entrance to the Okefenokee Swamp. The northern entrance is in Waycross, about an hour and a half from VSU. Both entrances rent canoes and motorboats and have guided boat tours. Wild Adventures theme park, with fast rides and short lines, is about 10 miles south of town--many of final scenes in Zombieland were shot on location at Wild Adventures.
