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.
