POLK COUNTY, Fla — A well-known alligator nature trail in Polk County is back open after being closed for months.
Polk County said the Alligator Alley Trail at Circle B Bar Reserve is back open to the public as of June 4.
The trail had been closed to visitors after being damaged during Hurricane Milton in October.
The County said that while the trail is back open, it typically closes in the summer due to alligator mating season. Gators will use the trail to build nests and they can become aggressive during that time.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
