The gator swamp walk on the boardwalk is great!!!thank you of gatorland for setting this swamp aside as a very unique biological preserve.this is what Florida looked like a long time ago before man started to plow everything under,pave road,put in houses and countless stores.this is the real deal,I could imagine that this is little changed since the age of the dinosaurs!!to me,it is so enjoyable to walk this swamp walk,it is very quiet back in there except for chirping birds and crickets.it puts my soul at ease just being in that swamp walk.i have been on that walk three times recently and my camera sees something new each time.i have about 200 photos I took and I transport myself back there with those photos whenever life's stresses get me down.i urge each visitor to gatorland to stop in and visit this treasure.it is good to see also how mother nature has started to repair all the swamp that was damaged in the 2004 hurricanes--charley,Frances,jeanne.come,sit down in one of the swamp chairs and let nature soak into your weary mind.youl be glad you did!!I think this great to educate young and old about what Florida used to be like all over. I'll no need to travel to the everglades to see a piece of real Florida,it is here for us all to marvel at what god has created.now,the logging industry about 100 years ago cut almost all of this down,so look at how mother nature has repaired and restored gods wonderful treasure for us to enjoy.bob whitaker
