If canoeing or boating, carry insect repellant, drinking water, foul weather clothing and emergency light. If lost or disabled, stay with your boat and attempt to reach the main canal. Display emergency light after dark. Remember, floating vegetation and changing water levels can block canals and hide boat trails. On the bicycle trail, carry insect repellant, drinking water, and foul weather clothing.
Alligators have a natural fear of humans.
When they are fed they lose that fear and may become dangerous. Please, do not feed the alligators or any other wildlife. Observe the posted speed limits for your safety and for the safety of others and the wildlife. Contact refuge personnel for emergency assistance. Pets of any kind.
