there are alligators as far north as north carolina...
there’s no guarantee that they’re not present in any florida waters...
You are wrong:
There are no gators in the tubing area of the Ichetucknee which eventually merges into the Santa Fe River, where the water’s color and temperature are very different. You will see alligators here. But this is not close to where the Ichetucknee’s state park section is. So go ahead and enjoy this natural beauty with peace of mind and common sence!
Water is too cold just as it is in the picture posted
