Tagged American Alligator, Suwannee River Sill Recreation Area, Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, Georgia. April 15, 2023

The Suwannee River Sill Recreation Area in the Okefenokee Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is an accessible and convenient place to see some large alligators. The long drive to dam runs parallel to the canal. Even if you have mobility issues and can’t walk, on sunny days you’ll see large gators and softshell turtles basking on the banks, just 30 yards from your car! And because the UGA Coastal Ecology Lab has done a lot of research along the Sill, you may even spot an alligator with a colorful tail tag.
