Myakka River State Park - Fox's Low Road Trail Head

Closed temporarily due to hurricane damage, I'm sure it will open soon....

I just came off the trail. :-) Sunday morning jt was very peaceful. Bring a hat and water.

Loved it. Even though me and my sister were hiking and hD to turn around because we saw and heard the wild boars we got scared! Lol! Make sure you bring water it gets hot there.

Went midweek and the place was so peaceful. EBiked the back "roads" and it was beautiful but you might enjoy it more on foot as they are pretty rough terrain for the casual rider.
Plentiful wildlife to view. The canopy walk is a spectacular view and the boardwalk is very nice for birdwatching. Walk through the oaks early morning and late evening for the best photography lighting and to catch the deer grazing. Sunset is beautiful from the additional parking lot at the boat launch.
We stayed at Big Flatts and enjoyed the shaded, wooded campsites.
Facilities were many and the volunteers keep them up nicely. We found them to be very friendly and informative.

Great hiking. Just beware that water often covers sections of the trail

Best natural park in the Manasota area with well-groomed trails, boat rides on the lake, and lots more. Love to come here to disconnect from the city and get back to basics.

This path is very much off the beaten path - no paved roads. Its a tough journey with no trees/cover. BE WARNED its rough!!
