We used to go tubing (on large inner-tubes) down spring runs for 3 miles and there would be gators sunning all on the sides of the banks (18 feet wide from one side to another) ....and they never bother anyone. Only if an animal or small child walked UP to a gator....would there be the possibility of them getting injured or eaten.
And also as Stone said....don't feed them and they won't look to humans as a food supply. The problem is usually tourist who don't know that.
