Gator watching
 

We'll have a visitor in a couple of weeks who would like to see gators while here. We live in Chitty Chatty and have seen a couple here and another just below us in Bradford, but only sporadically, maybe not often enough for someone visiting only a week.

Where are your favorite gator buddies, especially those you see frequently ... and preferably south of 44 near cart paths? INSIDE The Villages.

We'll leave them in "do not disturb" mode.

Gatorland where Larry lives.

:ho:

Saw a good sized one the other day in the pond just off the cart path near the Rohan Recreation Center.

Clarified my question to say INSIDE the Villages. No interest in buying a tour.

Saw a small one Marsh View #17, yesterday.

I'm not aware of any specific location in The Villages that alligators can be seen on a regular basis

I know not south but from Brownwood to Mulberry there are a good number of ponds along the path. We saw a least 1 gator a day out sunning themselves about 2 weeks ago. This includes Larry’s old hangout behind Brownwood.

You probably won't see one unless you go to Gatorland in Orlando. You could also stop at Costco nearby, another favorite attraction to Villagers.

It was a hint.......Famous Gators get "moved". :ohdear:

Saw a "biggun", about 6 feet long, on the 6th hole of Loblolly yesterday He was walking past the green to the adjacent pond...

I let him play through...

The nature trail at the Fenney rec. center also any of the ponds nearby along Fenny Way. If it's sunny and warm they will be out on the shore, if cooler you might only see their snouts in the water.

Every time we drive by Rohan, we see carts parked by that lake. There must be something to see there.

Gatorland is worth it for kids. You can get discounts being a florida resident.

another thought, airboat ride in Lake Panasoflokee. At end, they let you hold a gator.

Gator admiration
 

There is often one on the shore of the retention pond across the street from the Citrus Grove Postal station, and as mentioned above, the one at Fenney Springs is usually around as well.
