Alligator in Elk Grove’s Camden Lake

Over the past couple days posts on Next Door and Facebook have talked about an alligator sighting on Camden Lake in Elk Grove.

Neighbors posted a photo on the Camden Next Door site showing an alligator in the lake. Several people have reported seeing it the past couple of days. Also residents reported seeing a decrease in the number of ducks and geese in the area.

We contacted Camden Neighborhood Association President Sharon Anderson on Thursday night about the sighting. Anderson said that she spoke to residents that have seen the alligator. She also said that she went to the lake on Thursday evening and saw it on the shoreline.

I met Anderson at the lake this morning to get more imformation. We didn’t see the alligator on our walk around the lake
