Crystal River/Springs and other springs don’t seem to have gator attacks.
Don’t kid yourself. They’re there! I was almost a meal!

There is a spring near Tallahassee that has a tall rock formation next to it. As pledges we were taken there and told to jump in the spring below.
The water was COLD. The real shock came when we opened our eyes underwater and saw that we were surrounded by about a dozen alligators. The six of us immediately formed a chaotic bunch of arms and legs as we tried to merge into each other. When the brothers stopped laughing, they directed us to a gator free space where we could climb out. Gators definitely live in springs.
Water temps?
