Brazos Bend, Texas

You might find this useful: Alligator Etiquette:
1. Absolutely do not feed or annoy alligators.
2. Do not assume alligators are slow moving or sluggish.
3. No one is allowed to swim or enter the water at Brazos Bend.
4. If you hook a fish, an alligator may go after your catch.
5. Avoid any alligator sunning itself in the middle of the trail.
6. If you see a pile of grasses, twigs and/or soil near the side of the trail, avoid it. It is a nest and the mother alligator is probably close by gaurding it.
7. When an alligator stands its ground, opens its mouth and hisses, you have come too close. You need to retreat slowly, keeping your eyes on the alligator. Retreat uphill if possible.
