I am coming from a state where alligarors and water snakes aren't an issue. I like to row a single shell, and paddle a canoe and paddle board. Is there any body of water in or around the villages where it is safe to do this, or should I just leave these boats and boards behind?
Lakes over near MT Dora and over in Leesburg have docks and boats. I wouldn't suggest the paddle board, but the other boats are just fine to bring and use. . . a shell while rowing wouldn't attract an alligator. stationary for awhile near shore, you might get "examined"
