Boat & Tram Tour of Myakka State Park
We will tour the Upper Myakka Lake on a large pontoon boat,
which sits comfortably high above the water for the best views.
After this, a historic narrated motorized safari tram tour
of the Park's back country.
Myakka River State Park was originally part of the
Palmer Cattle Ranch and was acquired and developed by
the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.
The tour will focus on park ecology and natural history,
with stories of the people who made their lives there.
Please plan to enter the park by 8:15 am,
to allow you to arrive at the boat launch by 8:30.
The boat tour leaves at 9:00 am and will finish at 10 am.
The tram leaves at 10:30 am.
We'll have a half hour between the two trips
and will finish at 11:30 am.
We'll meet by the boat ramp, where parking,
including handicapped parking, is available,
along with benches on which to wait for the boat departure.
Cafe and Restrooms are at the same place.
