Myakka River State Park, Florida state park in Sarasota, US.
Myakka River State Park extends across 37,000 acres of wetlands, prairies, and pine forests, with a river flowing through its center.
The park transformed from a cattle ranch to a protected area in 1941 through the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The National Park Service rustic architectural style of the buildings reflects the commitment to harmonize human structures with natural landscapes.
Visitors can rent canoes, kayaks, and bicycles at the Myakka Outpost, which also provides camping supplies and operates a cafe.
The park features Florida's first state-designated wild and scenic river, supporting ecosystems for alligators, osprey, and numerous water birds.
