Myakka River State Park
Florida State Park · Sarasota, Florida
One of the oldest and largest state parks in Florida — 37,000 acres of wetland, prairie and oak hammock built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. A canopy walkway strung 25 feet up in the treetops leads to a 74-foot tower, the airboats on the Upper Lake are among the largest in the world, and the alligator density at the weir in the dry season is genuinely startling.
