Here are some pictures of the lake at our apartment complex. They are supposed to go from left to right (top to bottom) so you can get the view of the whole lake. I haven't seen any gators yet. I don't know if they live in lakes. It might not be swamp enough. I did see some people fishing and a jet ski trying to get a water skier up. They weren't having much luck. If I had a boat I would love to go out on the lake.
