Little Manatee River State Park, Florida, United States
4.0 (89 reviews) Friday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent Ranking #2 in Wimauma State Parks
Rough trails
Located just about 5 miles south of Sun City, FL, off route 301. During this visit, we went to the north trails, just north of the Little Manatee River. If you are going too fast you will miss the entrance. Here you have two loops, about 3 miles each. Both loops offer the chance to walk along the north side of the river. Walk both loops and you complete a 6.2 miles hike. This is a rough trail with no facilities.

Nice Park/Attractions Not Available
We were camping here for a weekend. Its about 1 hour from our house. The campsite was nice, it was raining most of the weekend. We stayed at a pet friendly site, the bathrooms were older but clean, the campsite itself was high and dry. We were able to drive around the park and visit some of the attractions. The paddle boat ride was fun, although this time of year we didn't see many alligators. We were not interested in renting canoes, kayaks or bicycles. However, the rentals were not open for some reason. Personally I would NEVER kayak Myakka River. Too many alligators. Personal preference. The staff and camp rangers were friendly and very helpful with questions we had. I would recommend camping here but bring a bike or golf cart. Very reasonably priced. There are also more expensive drive through sites available for RVs. We were in a smaller RV.
