Merry Christmas from the Perez family!
Please don’t over tighten the cap after signing the log. Snugging the cap to the o-ring is sufficient to keep water out. Over tightening the cap destroys the threads and o-ring.
Cache is accessible via main park road, NOT via the campground. Please respect the campers by not parking along the road here or in the nearby campground. There is plenty of parking at the Rock Memorial and restrooms across the street.
Myakka River State Park is one of Florida's oldest and largest state parks popular for hiking, fishing, camping and wildlife observation. If you are going out on the trails, bring plenty of water, bug repellent and sunscreen. Cell phone coverage is unreliable, so a trail map and GPS are highly recommended. Depending on the season, the trails may be wet. To avoid an unpleasant wildlife encounter, watch where you put your hands and feet.

• Vehicle (2-8 people): $6.00
• Vehicle (1 person): $4.00
• Extra passengers: $2.00
• Motorcycle: $4.00
