Myakka River

Myakka RIver












We stayed at Myakka River, one of Florida's oldest and largest state parks, just for one night.  We have a longer stay planned for next year and wanted to check it out.  This park has lots of hiking and biking trails, a nature tram ride, and air boats rides. The air boats are quieter than the ones on Lake Kissimmee--I am not sure why.  It's a hugely popular park, which means lots of road traffic, so the off road trails are better. Cali, our canine companion on this Florida trip, loves to chase squirrels. She is really well behaved until she sees one of these little monsters, and then she goes a little nuts.

The first day at Myakka was too windy for much wildlife but the sunset was pretty. The second day was nicer and Dick got a picture of these white ibis' and snowy egrets.
