Did you know a lot of rivers go through the Coastal Plains? They are the Chattahoochee, Flint, Ocmulgee, Altamaha, Savannah, and Ogeechee Rivers. We are lucky because we live near the Savannah River. It is very beautiful! The Coastal Plains region covers over one-half of the state. There is only one famous swamp that goes through the Coastal Plains, and it is called the Okefenokee Swamp. The soil is made up of sand and clay. The Coastal Plains have many salt marshes where many animals live and plants grow. Some of the animals you might see are squirrels, rattlesnakes, and crows. The plants that grow in the Coastal Plains are pine and oak trees and ferns. The weather in the coastal plains in summer is hot and humid, but in the winter it gets chilly. The rainfall is around 51 inches per year. “ http://www.savannah.chatham.k12.ga.us:8081/ISMF/2007/Heard/5th%20Our%20Land%20of%20Georgia/Land%20of%20GA_files/page0003.htm
