I think I remember something about kayaks are not allowed at Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge because of safety concerns due to number of large alligators there.

Best to check this before going there.

Forgive my ignorance, but how do you guys deal with the gators in those kayaks?! I saw a mention of Sampson's Cove above. Was out fishing in that area last week, in Sandy Cove to be exact, and we had 3 little guys hanging around us the entire time. Then, when we left, we spotted a huge one at the front corner where it connects into what's known as Bird Island Chute. We passed pretty close to it, and it didn't even flinch. Another one was trying to cut across right in front of us, looked like it could have possibly been blind, as both eyes were solid orange. Definitely some beautiful country out there...

I will check out and will take the boat in there if need be. So many alligators, they were everywhere. I didn’t see any signs about no kayaks at the check in, but I also wasn’t specifically looking for that. I’ll look into it, thanks.
