What is the most remote woods or forest in GA

Wife and I got to canoe through the Okeefanokee way back in 1970. Newly weds and arguing about the 'gators swimming and bumping the canoe. Not a good afternoon. We've laughed about it for 47 years now. Wasn't funny then!

No wonder y'all made it this long!
If your marriage survived that, the rest must of been great!
 
The Okefenokee swamp in the extreme SE corner of the state is probably where you can find the largest area of undeveloped and uncultivated land, not seeing farms and farm buildings and dirt roads.

I've driven around there and flown over it in a small plane.
But I've never been on the water in any kind of boat.

I think the North Georgia Mountains are more isolating, simply because the terrain is so rugged.
You can't just walk or drive wherever you want. It's too steep in many places. You have to follow the contours of the land, or stay on trails.

For a pretty remote-feeling area, try this: https://www.google.com/maps/@34.852715,-84.4844264,13z

Look where Glimer and Fannin counties meet. That's some serious wilderness, even though, as the crow flies, it's hard to find a spot that's not within 2 miles of some kind of road, even if it's a dirt road or "forest service" road.
 
A number of websites claim that one corner of Yellowstone National Park is the "most remote" place in the lower 48 states, because it's about 30 miles from that spot in the woods to the nearest road (I assume they mean a road with a name or number, not just a logging trail or driveway leading to some private mining or timber operation).

I really thought that some parts of the USA would be more remote than that-- I would have guessed there'd be dozens of places out West, and in the Appalachian mountains, where you could be 50+ miles from the closest paved road. Apparently that ain't so.
