Visitor Sustainability Guidelines
- Say no to Plastic.
- Rather than drinking out of plastic water bottles, bring reusable water bottles.
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
- Bring reusable bags, utensils, and Tupperware when camping or picnicking.
- It is estimated that one million plastic bags are consumed by people per minute!
- Recycle! When entering a park or visitor center, ask about what can be recycled and where.
- Do not litter!!!
- Do not litter when visiting any park, or outside space in general!
- Watch the Wildlife.
- Focus on filling your memory card or just enjoy the show but resist the urge to feed animals—even the cute ones.
- We all know that feeding alligators can be dangerous, but did you know that simply feeding the squirrels can be deadly for them?
- Even if others are feeding the animals remember that you’re doing them a favor by not teaching them humans are sources of food, so they’ll be better prepared to fend for themselves.
- Going Beyond “Leave No Trace”.
- You’ve probably heard the phrase “Take only pictures, leave nothing but footprints”.
- Although this piece of advice is wonderful to keep in mind when visiting natural areas, we can do better.
- Try leaving the park or beach cleaner than it was when you arrived.
- Challenge yourself to pick up a few pieces of trash or recyclable material while out and about and dispose of them properly.
Alligators
- Be aware of the possibility of alligators when you are in or near fresh or brackish water.
- Bites may occur when people do not pay close enough attention to their surroundings when working or recreating near water.
- Do not swim outside of posted swimming areas or in waters that might be inhabited by large alligators.
- Alligators are most active between dusk and dawn.
- Therefore, avoid swimming at night.
- Dogs and cats are similar in size to the natural prey of alligators.
- Don’t allow pets to swim, exercise, or drink in or near waters that may contain alligators.
- Dogs often attract an alligator’s interest, so do not swim with your dog.
- Leave alligators alone.
- State law prohibits killing, harassing, or possessing alligators.
- Handling even small alligators can result in injury.
- Never feed alligators – it’s dangerous and illegal.
- When fed, alligators can overcome their natural wariness and learn to associate people with food.
- When this happens, some of these alligators have to be removed and killed.
- Dispose of fish scraps in garbage cans at boat ramps and fish camps.
- Do not throw them into the water.
- Although you are not intentionally feeding alligators when you do this, the result can be the same.
- Seek immediate medical attention if you are bitten by an alligator.
- Alligator bites can result in serious infections.
- Observe and photograph alligators only from a distance.
- Remember, they’re an important part of Florida’s natural history as well as an integral component of aquatic ecosystems.
Paddling Rules
- Florida state law mandates that a child under the age of six (6) must wear a U.S.C.G. approved Type I, II, or III personal flotation device while onboard a vessel under 26 feet in length while the vessel is underway.
- This includes canoes and kayaks.
- Bring plenty of water or other drinks in non-disposable containers.
- Don’t litter – take a trash bag or other receptacle for collecting your trash.
- Because of alligators, swimming is not recommended in the Creek.
- If you are starting from Fisheating Creek Campground and heading upstream, note the stream becomes narrower and the current faster the further you go upstream.
- We offer shuttles to Burnt Bridge and Ingram’s Crossing for a relaxing downstream paddle.
- It is always a good idea to let someone know where you are paddling and when you expect to return.Cancellation Policy
