Fall Family Hike - Myakka River State Park

A multi-stop exploration of the park with history, ecology, and nature connection. Wildlife viewing is abundant throughout the park. The tour begins with an up close and personal introduction to the river and the park at the historic Sable Palmetto Pavilion. Second, we caravan to the canopy walk and admire the scale of the park with a 360 view from the observation tower. The third stop is a brief hike into the backcountry down Ranch House Road to see the Dry Prairie Ecosystem. The tour ends at the big lake--perfect for scenic photos.From there, you can enjoy a picnic lunch that you bring, fried alligator bites from the food truck at the outpost, or explore additional hiking trails
