Lake Alice, Lake in Florida, United States
Lake Alice is a lake in Gainesville, Florida, on the University of Florida campus. It covers about 60 acres (24 hectares) and has a small island in the middle, with a trail along the shore.
The lake formed naturally and was later incorporated into the university campus as it expanded. Over time, it became a focus for conservation and education.
Students and local residents often come here to run, walk, or simply sit by the water. The lake is also a common spot for watching birds and alligators in a campus setting.
You can walk around the lake on a paved path that is mostly flat and easy to follow. The area is open to the public, and you can reach it on foot from nearby campus buildings.
The lake is home to a large population of American alligators, which can often be seen sunbathing on the banks. Despite their presence, the area remains a popular spot for joggers and nature lovers.
