Magnolia Springs State Park
A spring-fed lake and boardwalk trail here make for reliable gator sightings, with the boardwalk crossing directly over parts of the spring run. Warmer months bring gators out to bask along the banks visible from the boardwalk. The old fish hatchery ponds nearby sometimes hold gators too. Stay on the boardwalk and don't feed anything you see baiting for a closer look.
