For the person who loves
the country, the outdoors and the activities that come with a beautiful
flowing river, the Myakka Florida area is just the thing for you.
Featuring the Myakka River State Park, Myakka is one of the oldest and
largest state parks, Myakka protects one of the state´s most diverse
natural areas. The Myakka River, designated as a Florida Wild and Scenic
River, flows through 58 square miles of wetlands, prairies, hammocks,
and pinelands. Visitors can enjoy wildlife viewing from a boardwalk that
stretches out over the Upper Myakka Lake, then take to the treetops with
a stroll along the canopy walkway.
The park´s river and two
lakes provide ample opportunities for boating, freshwater fishing,
canoeing, and kayaking; a boat ramp provides access to Upper Myakka
Lake. Hikers can explore trails that cross large expanses of rare
Florida dry prairie. Scenic lake tours are offered daily on the world´s
two largest airboats. Safari tram tours of the park´s backcountry are
offered from mid-December through May. Full-facility campgrounds and
primitive campsites are available. Five palm log cabins, built in the
1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, have been modernized for
comfortable lodging. Located nine miles east of Sarasota on State Road
72.
