The new ‘dock’ makes me smile every time I pass and find it occupied. This time it was ‘snaggle tooth’ and a turtle.
It’s a good idea for keeping the Alligators off the trail. Also it was tied down near the visitors entrance to a swamp. On this trail there is a gate with a keypad. Visitors to Magnolia Plantation can get a code from the main house kiosk. Everyone always looks for the gators, so here they are (usually).
Visitors swamp entrance trail, Magnolia Plantation, South Carolina.
Looks like something we saw at Brookgreen.
Alligator docks/ramps are common around here. Didn’t know Brookgreen had them too. They can keep the people and gators apart. A win, win.
