They have a lot of alligators in the area but they staying away from people as long as no one messes with them. During warm days they like to lay out on the bank, I fished maybe 8 - 10 feet away from one he/she didn't bother me and I didn't bother it. Answer to your question if you don't bother them they won't bother you, take pictures and keep on walking.
If you don't come in the late afternoon it's pretty easy to stay away from them, but as it gets later they often come up to the path. It is not true to say "if you don't bother them they won't bother you," alligators can and do spontaneously attack people and you cannot out run them. I see people breaking common safety sense here which is dangerous but if you are smart and keep a 30ft distance you are safe.
Can I carry my licensed pistol?
It's always to be observant and quiet. Alligators attack if they they feel threatened.
