Another question for you folks.

My wife is worried about our one year old son and alligators. Last time I was down, I saw a ton of snakes, but no gators. Is there a significant gator population in South Walton?

There are quite a few Florida fans here. But you'll suffer much worse from the elephants, tigers, tigers, semimoles, dawgs, etc.

Just keep the little one away from the bayous.

Other than in Kurts photo, I've never seen one. Maybe I should look around more often.

Gators generally don't interact with people much in these parts, though I wouldn't go swimming in the lakes at Topsail Hill SP. (I've heard a lot of gator noise while hiking there) The only places you're likely to actually see one in these parts are Fudpucker's restaurant in Destin or the big Alvin's Island in Panama City Beach. Both have zoo-like gator encolsure areas.

Well we'll be staying in Dune Allen on Stallworth Lake so I hope we'll be okay. If they are in the lake, I hope they have a plentiful food supply other than my leg.

Unfortunately, gators are nearly extinct in SoWal.

Don't get me wrong, I like gators and conservation, but I'd prefer not to be eaten alive on my vacation. :laughing1
