Bike Myakka River State Park

This is a ride of approximately 14 miles with occasional stops to take mini-hikes or talk about the history of the park. The bike speed will be 10-12 mph and will be a round trip ride from the entrance of the park to Clay Gulley picnic area and back.

After paying your entrance fee, take the first left past the ranger station into a parking lot. We'll depart from there at 8:30 promptly so give yourself enough time to get there and unload your bike.

Some of the stops will include the first bridge where we'll look for alligators and take a short walk, The Canopy Walkway which we can climb, an original log cabin made of sabal palm, Clay Gulley and the Upper Myakka Lake. As of this date, the Birdwalk is closed with no opening date.

BRING: road ready bike, helmet (mandatory), water, snack, sunscreen, bug spray, tire repair kit, etc.
