Every time we've been to Sweetwater, we've seen gators, birds, and the last time, we even saw a pack of wild horses and a foal!

I'd recommend going to La Chua Trail for alligators. I've never seen one at Sweetwater

You can see alligators here for sure but not the best place for alligators. There were lot of wading and migrating birds.

K Mom | Sep 6, 2018

Unknown but we never saw one there...mostly they stay hidden just in general.

I've seen large Gators every time i have been there.

Douglas Murphy | Sep 6, 2018

As soon as the Gators come outta hibernation, it's almost 100% in our experience...

There is often a large one in the waterway between cell 1 and 2 and another around the nw corner of cell 1. Also along the path that runs along the West edge of 2 and 3

Saw 3 big alligators today basking in the sun. Saw lots of exotic birds. Sadly most of La Chua trail has been inaccessible lately due to high water levels.

Debbie Brooks | Sep 6, 2018

I have seen them at Sweetwater, but La Chua has a lot more.

Paul Lawson | Sep 6, 2018

I was there Dec 28 and I saw 6 alligators. I walked half the park

Brian Holt | Sep 6, 2018

Not likely to see many with the temperatures this week. But they are there.

Sandie Slaughter | Sep 6, 2018

Not that likely I think. Plenty of other places to go if you want to see them

Michael Jacobi | Sep 6, 2018

If you go over the red bridge and then go straight, you can often see one on the bank or just in the water.

Patricia Perry | Sep 6, 2018

I saw a couple in the water when I was there...that was when the weather was warm..not certain about now
