While the birds look out for fish, you can swim in the designated area - there is no net and no one has been attacked by an alligator on the Wakulla River - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |
In Wakulla Lodge Old Joe is displayed in a glass case. The large eleven foot alligator was well-known until one day someone killed him. An award was offered in an effort to find the culprit, but it was never claimed - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow |
