Itinerary
Myakka Canopy Walkway
30 min
The Myakka Canopy Walkway provides easy access to observe life in the treetops of an oak/palm hammock. As an outdoor laboratory for research and education, it is also a place for discovery and provides an opportunity for visitors to see canopy inhabitants up close. Completed in 2000, this structure is the first public treetop trail in North America.
The walkway is suspended 25 feet above the ground and extends 100 feet through the hammock canopy. The taller tower soars 74 feet in the air to present a spectacular view of treetops, wetlands and the prairie/hammock interface. You can look down on eagles, hawks, vultures, and the tops of live oak and sabal palm trees.

Perfect biking tour
Met our guide Derek just near entrance to the park. Had a quick chat about the bikes and the route and away we went with another couple. What followed was two and a half hours of the most entertaining biking we have ever done. Visited and walked over the Canopy Walkway, went on and off road looking for all the animals and birds in the area. Derek was the perfect guide, knowledgeable and amusing, with saddle bags full of chilled water! Would recommend this tour 100%.

Has to be experienced
Met our guide Derek at the ranger station at entrance to Myakka State Park. Had a quick chat about the bikes and the route.
And then off we went for an exhilarating ride through the park on and off road.
Two and a half hours of the most enjoyable time we can remember riding E-bikes that were perfect for this experience. All helped admirably by Derek who was the perfect guide.
Would definitely recommend this 100%.

Worth it
The park was vast and riding on E bikes was great fun. Our tour guide, Derek, was passionate about his role and shared unique stories, took amazing photos, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. Climbing and crossing the wooden bridge was memorable and you could see the entire park from the top. Great family experience, so grateful.

E bike ride
We had the absolute best time on this. Our tour guide Derek, made sure everything was ready and we all were comfortable on the bikes before we left the starting point. He was very knowledgeable during our tour snd gave us insights on the park and answrred any questions we had. He even laughed with us which made things less awkward during the tour. Would do again when we visit.

Absolutely MUST DO Experience!
This tour was absolutely awesome! Our tour guide, Derek was amazing! He made sure all of the bikes were ready to go before we began, he even adjusted as needed during the trip. He was knowledgable and so much fun all during the excursion. The state park is beautiful and we saw a few alligators as well as other birds and wildlife. The e-bikes were a blast and out family (including teenagers) had the BEST time!

The best non-beach activity you can do!
The best way to experience the true natural beauty of Florida wilderness. Derek was an incredible guide with a great sense of humor. The group was nine including Derek and made small talk amongst everyone easy. Ran about 3 hours total including the canopy walk and tower (don’t miss the tower!). The ebike is the perfect way to see the expansive park, miles of trails and wildlife. What a value for the money! This was a highlight of our trip. I can’t wait to come back and do the beach ride and visit their shop. Thanks Derek!
