  • Great Fun For All
    By kahatley, 03/19/07
    We had a fairly large group going and were worried about the size of our spot that we had to share, ended up having plenty of space for our two oversized tents and our 'dining' enclosure. The kids loved the wildlife and riding bikes on trails. Visited by raccoons every night, and up close and personal with alligators on our canoe ...

  • Nice trip
    By northstorybaseball, 03/17/07
    Neat place to see natural wild Florida. We were able to walk up reasonably close to where gators were doing their thing in the water. Also a lot of different birds to see.

    Nice drive into the "woods" just to look around. Took the boat ride. Boat captain was informative and fun to listen to.

    Get there early! If you want to ...

  • Wild Animals and Tropical Forest
    By Hiking Woman, 01/17/06
    Trek quietly into this park and you will see an abundance of wildlife. There are boat rides through the river where one can see many alligators sunbathing. There is a canopy walk through the tropical trees. There is hiking, backpacking and camping where one is surrounded by wildlife. This park is a treasure for anyone interested in observing wildlife and enjoying nature.

  • Paddle with the Gators
    By Daniel Horne, 01/06/06
    We had our own kayaks but I think there is a place to rent canoes as well. Within a few moments of putting in to the Myakka river, you paddle around a bend and the road is gone and it feels like you have paddled into jurassic park with fabulous birds like the Anhinga perched in the moss-laden trees. By far the most astounding company we had on ...

  • check it out
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 11/02/05
    Myakka is an amazing place. Make sure to check out the canopy walk. If you plan on camping, check out the "primitive camping" - some sites are a 13 mile hike from the nearest road! If you want to see the alligators, forget the airboat. The best way to go is by kayak or canoe. If the water levels are just right, you'll be able to ...

  • Fun, Cheap Time for the Family
    By cwadams1978, 06/02/05
    Myakka River is the land that time forgot. It is truly unspoiled. Be sure to take the airboat tour to get up close to the alligators. The canopy walk is also worth the time and effort. We had a great time and would go again!

  • Gator Heaven

    Great place to bring the family. The air boat ride is a must, especially for children who want to see alligators. Tour guide always full of information about the park and its inhabitants.

  • Myakka State Park

    An excellent adventure for the avid outdoorsman or anyone looking for a day of outdoor fun. I especially recommend the airboat ride to get up close to alligators.
