Myakka River State Park

is a stunning nature reserve located in picturesque Sarasota, Florida. The park boasts a diverse range of ecosystems, including wetlands, prairies, and pine forests, which are home to a wide variety of wildlife species such as alligators, deer, and bobcats.

The park offers a range of exciting activities for visitors of all ages, including camping, hiking, kayaking, and biking. There are over 39 miles of hiking trails to explore, ranging from easy walks to more challenging treks. The park's two lakes, Myakka and Upper Myakka, are perfect for kayaking or fishing, while cyclists can enjoy a leisurely ride through the park on the paved cycling trail.

Although the park is located close to some of the most beautiful beaches in the area, we found ourselves completely immersed in the natural beauty of the park and disconnected from the digital world. However, it's worth noting that phone service in the park can be spotty at times.

We recently visited the park when upgrading our internet tower, and we were once again struck by its natural beauty. We can't wait to return to the park soon and explore even more of its hidden treasures.
