In the 1870s, Georgia poet Sidney Lanier was mesmerized by the lush marshland that separates the mainland from the barrier islands. More than 130 years later, his poem, “The Marshes of Glynn,” inspires the name that signifies Brunswick & The Golden Isles’ vast and expansive marshes. These vast marshes are a vast, living ecosystem providing nourishment, shelter and breeding grounds for a vast variety of plants, animals and birds. Visitors can observe the marsh from several locations, including Overlook Park and the Earth Day Nature Trail in Brunswick and the Jekyll Island Welcome Center along the Jekyll Island Causeway.
