My son and I recently went kayaking on Lake Griffin and saw 5 alligators. One was in the 8-10 foot range and was sunning himself on the shore. Another, a 7 footer, was out in the middle of the lake swimming right at us. My son quickly changed course, but the alligator went under water at that point. He is visiting from Pittsburgh and had never encountered an alligator in the wild. He loved the experience. It was a great day of nature watching!
