Visitors can enjoy viewing wildlife and the water out on a boardwalk that extends over the Upper Myakka Lake, and then take a stroll along the canopy walk up high in the treetops. Hikers can also enjoy exploring trails that cross large expanses of rare Florida dry prairie.
Visitors can take scenic lake tours on the world's two largest airboats. From mid-December through May, safari tram tours of the park's back country are offered, and make sure to have your camera ready because you never know what Florida animals you may spot along the journey.
