Myakka River State Park - August 2026 Visit
Myakka River State Park的点评
点评：It has been many years since I have visited Myakka River State Park. From that previous visit I have always held fond memories of how nice of a park it was, with great trails and lots of wildlife to encounter. Unfortunately, it is just a bit out of reach for me to visit regularly. So, it had been with high hopes that I made it a point to revisit recently. I was really disappointed.
I write this with the full understanding that they are still trying to recover from storms that hit two years ago.
There is a fairly short (about 3/4 mile) nature trail, which also contains the Canopy Walkway. The nature trail itself has some interesting interpretive signs along the way but is really nothing more than what you can see at other Florida parks. The Canopy Walk, i.e. a platform that brings a visitor up to treetop level, is quite short at about 100 feet long. Other hiking trails were mostly unmaintained and very very buggy. The Birdwalk, basically a wooden pier stretching out into Upper Myakka Lake, was previously destroyed and has not, yet, been replaced. The concessionaire, Pink Gator Cafe, is closed and food is being served out of a trailer setup in the same location. Kayaks seemed to still be available for rent, but I did not witness anyone taking advantage.
The Gift Shop was open, and their prices for beverages was reasonable. The refrigerator was working overtime, as these were ice cold and very welcomed. Prices for gift items seemed elevated to me (t-shirts "starting at" $30), but I presume these are set by the State Park system and not the individual stores. They may sell more at more reasonable pricing. Restrooms near the gift shop were fairly clean but were lacking in paper towels for drying hands.
What was really striking on this visit, however, was the distinct lack of animals. Beyond a handful of birds (and insects), there was such little wildlife as to question if something was going on with the lake(s) and waterways. The waters were mostly dead, with no sightings of turtles, alligators, or even the ripples as evidence of any fish. It was very very uncharacteristic for a Florida park.
My thought originally was that this was going to be a one-star review, due to the current conditions of the park, and my experience during this visit. However, I decided to add one additional star for nostalgia, as I think back to what this park used to be, and could someday return to.

翻译：我已经很多年没去过迈卡河州立公园了。上次去的时候，我对那里留下了极好的印象——步道很棒，还能看到许多野生动物。可惜的是，对我来说很难经常去那里。因此，最近我怀着很高的期望特意再次前往。结果却让我大失所望。
写下这些文字时，我完全明白他们仍在努力从两年前遭受的风暴中恢复过来。这里有一条相当短的自然步道（约3/4英里长），树冠步道也位于该步道上。这条自然步道沿途有一些有趣的说明牌，但实际上它呈现给游客的景象与佛罗里达州其他公园并无太大差别。树冠步道是一条能让游客置身于树顶高度的平台，不过长度很短，仅有约100英尺。其他徒步小径大多疏于打理，而且蚊虫极多。“鸟类步道”……那其实是一个伸入上迈卡卡湖中的木制码头，此前曾被损坏，至今尚未修复。特许经营商“Pink Gator Cafe”已经关门，现在食物是由设在原址处的一辆拖车负责供应的。皮划艇似乎仍然可以租用，不过我没看到有人真正去租用。
纪念品商店照常营业，那里的饮料价格也还算合理。冰箱一直在高速运转，因此饮料冰爽可口，令人惬意至极。在我看来，纪念品的价格有些偏高（T恤的起售价为30美元），不过我猜这些价格是由州立公园系统设定的，而非各商店自行决定。如果定价更合理些，或许能卖出更多商品。礼品店附近的洗手间还算干净，就是没有用于擦手的纸巾。
不过，这次访问中最引人注目的还是几乎见不到任何动物。除了几只鸟（和昆虫）之外，……那里的野生动植物少得可怜，以至于让人怀疑湖泊和水道是否出了什么问题。湖水几乎毫无生气，既看不到乌龟或短吻鳄的踪迹，甚至连鱼群游动时产生的涟漪都见不到。对于佛罗里达州的公园来说，这种情况实在极不寻常。
起初，考虑到公园目前的状况以及我这次游览的体验，我本打算只给一星评价。不过后来，出于怀旧之情，我决定再多给一星。当我回想起这个公园曾经的模样，以及有朝一日可能重现的模样时。
