What can visitors expect at Myakka River State Park?

Myakka River State Park near Punta Gorda features a vast wildflower field covered in coreopsis, the state wildflower of Florida. Visitors can canoe, kayak, and fish along the namesake river, or explore miles of hiking and biking trails among pinelands and wetlands. The park also offers wildlife tours by boat and tram. The park offers six primitive campgrounds for backpackers, including firepits but no potable water. The three larger campgrounds support pet-friendly RV camping with 50-amp service, water hookups, and picnic tables. Some sites have wifi. Laundry, restrooms, and hot showers are here, too.
