December in South Florida: Myakka River State Park

Join us on the last leg of our December journey as we visit the amazing Myakka River State Park. Filled to the brim with wildlife of every kind, this Florida State park is one of the jewels of the system, with waterways, trails, and overlooks to satisfy every desire. From the famed Canopy Walkway and Tower to the Myakka Outpost, there's never a dull moment in the beautiful park just east of Sarasota.

Love your camera work, music and commentary. The subject matter is great too. We were there last year from Oklahoma. What a great spot. Did you see signs of the wild pigs??

[@LeoCloutier]

Thanks so much, Brad. That is very kind. Funny you should ask about the pigs. Early on we saw several cages camouflaged in the area and couldn't figure out their purpose. It wasn't until we took the boat tour that we found out that rangers were attempting to catch wild pigs because their population in the park has been rapidly growing -- too fast as it turns out. But no, we never did see one. I'm not sure we were ready to see one, based on my wife's terrified reaction to the three raccoons hanging out by the dumpster every night. LOL!
Thanks so much for watching! Safe travels from Oklahoma! I lived there once very briefly (Miami, OK) many years ago.
