The water wasn't clear like it normally is, so we didn't see any gators on this trip. We canoed down Juniper Springs about a week later and saw three on that trip. The last one was hiding under a downed tree and we almost ran it over because of the current. As we passed by the tree, I glanced over and saw the gator head about a foot from the canoe.
Here's a pic of the first gator we encountered at Juniper Springs. This one is still a juvenile, he was only about 3-4 ft long.
