Alligator Lake Park — Attraction in Lake City

The scenery was amazing and just what me and a friend needed after a tough work week and my friend getting into an accident that needed some fresh air. However, the guy that I guess is the over-seer was so rude. We didn't have our phones because they died on the way there. So after walking the trails we notice it was late and headed back. The gate was closed and we found the guy and he was so rude to us and I explained that we saw him driving on the Ranger and waved to him but he didn't not once tell us that we should held back. Not only that but it was clear that there was a vehicle left in the parking lot so why not look for us, what if one of us was hurt out there.

This is a great park for nature/birding walks, jogs, or bike rides. There is a disk golf course (I think that is what its called). The water is lower than usual right now, but still plenty of birds. I have seen a few warblers, blacked crowned night heron, marsh wren, white pelicans, wood storks, glossy ibis, Downey woodpecker, tree swallows, and many more. Many covered picnic tables for get togethers and clean bathrooms. Plenty of picturesque live oaks with Spanish moss floating in the breeze. Also, has a boat ramp to put in your fishing boat, kayak or canoe. Overall, this is a great park to visit for diverse tastes...
