Lake Alice

Gainesville, FL

Lake Alice is located on UF's campus right next to where Kelsey worked as a residence hall director! Kelsey used to walk this path every morning. A UF campus tradition is to go at dusk so you can see the bats fly out of the bat houses across the lake. This is also a popular hammocking location on UF's campus.
