Yes dogs are allowed. But the alligators are also allowed to eat the dogs. Be extremely careful walking dogs around the lake. We normally see 6 to 8 gators regularly. The largest might be 7 to 8 foot. But they move around a bit. You might have larger ones take up residency. Also watch out for Pigmy Rattle Snakes. They are not agressive unless you get near them. They will not move when you approach as most snakes. Even the 6 inch Pigmy Rattle Snakes think that they are a 12 foot python. Depending on the weather there is a Manattee viewing deck on the river side. You will find a walking trail around the back side of the south lake. That will take you to Sam's Place. It is one of the prettiest trails on the Island. Don't let me scare you away with the warning about the Gators and Pigmy Rattle Snakes. But you must stay alert at all times. If you let your dog run free you have a very good chance you'll be taking the kids to the pet store to get a newer version of Fluffy.
Ditto. Also, watch for board.
Yes, you could
