Welcome to Waycross Main Street's web site. Waycross is located in the heart of Southeast Georgia, at the northern tip of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. It is a city filled with Southern hospitality and charm. From the Historic Downtown district to the swamplands of the Okefenokee, there is something for everyone. Visitors can experience the traditional down-home cooking at the local restaurants and slip away into comfort at one of several accommodations. Attractions such as the Okefenokee Swamp Park and Obediah's Okefenok, give an in-depth look at a one of a kind ecosystem, including the wildlife, plant-life, and pioneer life in the area. Train enthusiast can catch a glimpse of the train traffic coming in and out of the second largest computerized yard for CSX in the U.S. by relaxing on the Visitor Center patio in Downtown. For those who love history, there are the Okefenokee Heritage Center and Southern Forest World museums, and a Historic Walking Tour guide book available for the Downtown area. Whether you are staying over-night or just traveling through, Waycross will be a place to remember.
