Lake Alice
Lake Alice is a notable UF destination that helps define the character of our campus.
As one of the largest conservation areas on the main campus, it facilitates groundwater recharge, provides habitat for wildlife and serves as an outdoor classroom for students and faculty to learn about natural Florida systems. All surface drainage entering the lake originates within the boundaries of campus, making UF solely responsible for the management of the system.
Our Community Cares About Lake Alice
In 2003 long-term campus planning surveys, 99% percent of faculty, staff, students and Trustees respondents agreed that protecting Lake Alice and other campus water features in a natural setting should be a management priority.
In addition, when asked to identify special, personally significant places on campus, survey respondents identified Lake Alice more than any other location on campus.
