Myakka State Park



Myakka River State Park
 is one of Florida's oldest and largest state parks and was developed in 1934.
I visited Myakka a few years ago and absolutely loved going there.



The shallow, winding Myakka River flows 14 miles through Myakka River State Park, attracting and
 providing for a myriad of wetlands and uplands creatures.
The Myakka is the state's only "Florida Wild and Scenic River."



Myakka Canopy Walkway




The canopy walkway is on a spur trail that goes off of the Boylston Nature Trail. The entire loop trail 
takes about 30 to 40 minutes to walk at a very leisurely pace.


My boyfriend and I are actually thinking about spending a weekend in the cabins at Myakka and 
kyaking and hiking the state park.
