Myakka River, FL

Myakka River Trail (Lake Myakka to Charlotte Harbor)

This is the Myakka River, Florida’s first state-designated wild and scenic river, and it flows through a vast expanse of unspoiled wetlands, prairies, hammocks, and pinelands that make up Myakka River State Park.

Boating, fishing, canoeing and kayaking are popular activities on the water while hikers and bicyclists explore miles of trails and backroads. (Source: Florida Department of Environmental Protection)
