Paul - there are alligators in essentially every freshwater body in the state. And there are plenty at Winding Waters Natural Area. There has never been an "attack" at Winding Waters. Sometimes on our Natural Areas, especially where there are fishing piers, we have alligators that will become habituated to humans due to people feeding them (which is illegal!). These alligators are removed from the natural area. Walking the hiking trails along the edge of the restored wetland is certainly a safe activity. Like walking anywhere in a natural setting, you should be aware of your surroundings and watching where you step. Enjoy it!
