When it comes to spotting wildlife around Florida, there are plenty of amazing locations that will bring you up close to the unique creatures that you can only find here in our state. Some people prefer to take trips to relaxation locations like the Crystal River or Lee County where we can swim around with friendly manatees. But for others, a more thrilling adventure is what we seek when we visit a place like the Myakka River State Park.
This is one of the most popular gator-watching spots in all of the Sunshine State; visitors are use to seeing a few alligators lining the shores of the water at Myakka River State Park.
