This is a view of the sinkhole in Alligator Lake that recently opened and drained the water from the lake. The only water remaining are on the south end, which is quite low, and the Alligator Lake Park basin which retains water due to two dams. Sometime in the near future, the Game Commission plans to dredge the deeper canals near the dikes in the lake, throwing the dirt on the dikes and making them more of a gentle slope. After that, they plan on mulching the bottom, riding it of aquatic vegetation which is evasive when the water levels are low.
They hope to try and maintain a fish population, which in low water times, is decimated by the cormorants, anhingas and now the wintering White Pelicans and myriad of other water fowl.
