ABSOLUTELY DO NOT FEED OR ANNOY THE ALLIGATORS.
Keep pets on a leash no longer than six feet. Do not throw objects in water for your dog to retrieve.
Keep at least 30 ft. from an alligator – do not assume they’re slow-moving.
Do not swim in or wade into any water in Brazos Bend State Park.
If an alligator goes after a fish you have caught, cut the line and let the alligator have the fish.
Avoid any alligator sunning itself in the middle of the trail or lake bank.
Stay clear of grasses, twigs and/or soil near the side of a trail: it may be a nest and the mother
alligator is probably close by guarding it.
• If an alligator opens its mouth and hisses, you have come too close. Retreat slowly; make no quick
moves. Keep your eyes on the alligator.
