Crowley Nature Center and Museum, Sarasota Fl
This is a enjoyable visit if you are visiting Myakka River State Park. It is 1.5 miles from north gate entrance. (I biked from the campground.) I did not do the kid things but I will definitely bring my grandchild here in the future. Super nice 1/2 mile one way boardwalk and several other trails. Animals, museum, sugar caning and lots more. If you want to do a class/experience— be sure to call and set up in advance. Website:

MYAKKA RIVER STATE PARK & CAMPGROUND SARASOTA RV TRIP
Myakka River State Park and Campground near Sarasota Florida.
A special moment, frozen in time, in a special place, The canopy suspension bridge: you can venture across the “canopy trail,” a high bridge to nowhere with a tower that takes you above the trees for an amazing view of the surrounding wilderness, a dense forest pockmarked with wetlands and small meadows.
.With all of its activities, Myakka River State Park makes a great base for extended camping stays, and demand is high for this popular park.
A new campground, Palmetto Ridge, was opened during the 2011-12 winter season at Myakka River State Park, adding 42 campsites with gravel pads and full hookups, obviously geared to RVs. Also has 10 pull-through sites for campers with big rigs.
The two older campgrounds – Big Flats (sites 1-26) and Old Prairie (sites 27-48) – are more rustic and have been modified somewhat to provide a little more space between sites, but none of the older sites have sewer hookups, only water and electric, making them tent-friendly. (There are dump stations and restrooms at each campground.)
When the park’s campgrounds were originally constructed back in the 1960s, little thought was given to the large RV’s we see today, so the older sites are well-shaded within oak hammocks, ideal for the more compact requirements of tent campers.
Of the two older campgrounds, Big Flats is the better choice for tents and tent-campers. It is the shadiest campground, and there is more space between sites. Another advantage to Big Flats — it’s closer to the Myakka Outpost concession.
Of the two campgrounds at the southern end of the park, Old Prairie has more Old Florida charm and benefits from being located in a more shady, mature forest than the newer Palmetto Ridge.
There also five palm-log cabins available for overnight rentals (minimum two nights on weekends). The cabins were built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a Depression-era work project that is largely responsible for the establishment of the Florida State Parks system.
Other things to do at Myakka River State Park
Other activities include picnicking, fishing, equestrian facilities and trails, and airboat rides are offered at the park concession, the Myakka Outpost, which is at the foot of Upper Myakka Lake, just off the main park road.
Airboat rides: These are large tour boats, not the noisy, four-person craft you see skidding across the Everglades. And if you fear the noise will keep you away, no worries. It’s quiet enough for the guide to talk through the onboard sound system. The airboat takes you out onto Upper Myakka Lake, where you observe alligators, birds, fish and the wild pigs on the far shore.
Tram Safari (Available only from Dec. 16-May 31 only): Land-based tour of the park and back country with guides who explain the history of the land and its wildlife.
Canoe and kayak rentals: Explore 14 miles of lakes and rivers within the park.
Bike rentals: Rent your bikes on site at the Myakka Outpost.
Things to do nearby: there’s plenty to explore, farms, ranches and dairies, many of them handed down through families from early settlers of the “Old Myakka Valley.”
Crowley Museum and Nature Center: Here’s a little corner of the world worth visiting because there’s a lot going on. This historic homestead features pioneer cabins, a school house, blacksmith shop and more.
Ringling Estate and Museum: Sarasota is “America’s Circus City,” home of the renowned Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus. John Ringling’s estate is now the grounds for the Circus Museum, which houses circus memorabilia dating back more than a century. One of the main attractions is a miniature replica of the 1919-1938 circus. But that’s not all! There’s a museum of art, a 1798 European performing arts theater that was brought here from Italy and restored, a lovely 27,000 square-foot garden, and the Venetian style mansion where John Ringling lived from 1924 until his death in 1936. ringling.org
Historic Spanish Point: This 30-acre park has a 5,000-year history, as evidenced by a unique shell midden built through the centuries by native Americans who cast their discarded shells in a pile. The heart of the midden is visible through a glass wall built to protect it from weathering, and archaeological objects exposed to view include ancient pottery and tools. This tract on Little Sarasota Bay was also home to Mrs. Potter Palmer of the prominent pioneer family that once owned much of Sarasota County. Many of the historic buildings and gardens can be attributed to her era.

The beaches : 13 public beaches on six barrier islands in the Sarasota area, including some of the most beautiful beaches you’ll find anywhere in the U.S.

The Carr Family Cabin -- Celebrating a Forgotten Place in the Florida Scrub (Full Video)
Equinox producers Bob Giguere and Bill Belleville have completed a short film for the Umatilla Historical Society and Friends of the Carr Cabin celebrating a Cracker style cabin in the Ocala National Forest used extensively by renowned Florida naturalist Archie Carr and his family.
The film vividly describes the creation and use of a Cracker-style cabin retreat built in the late 1930s after Pastor Archibald Carr and his wife moved to Umatilla, Florida. Constructed on the shores of Lake Nicotoon in the Ocala National Forest, the little cabin afforded three generations of Carrs a lasting relationship with an authentic Florida that tourists seldom see.

The presence of people, possibly Paleo-Indian, along the west coast of Florida dates back to around 8,000 B.C. and there is evidence that native Americans lived along the waterfront of Sarasota and southwest Florida more than 3,000 years ago. In the 1500's, the first Spanish explorers, Ponce de Leon, Panfilo Narvaez, and Hernando De Soto landed on the Gulf Coast in search of gold and silver. In 1821, the United States acquired the territory of Florida and in 1824, the Armed Occupation Act allowed for private ownership of land along Sarasota Bay, but only for incoming settlers. The native Seminoles were not allowed to become citizens or own land and were pushed even further south. In 1855, the settlers won their war with the Seminoles but it wasn't until the 1880's that development really began.
In 1885, Sarasota Florida was promoted in Scotland. Many families sailed to America expecting fields of vegetables, housing, and citrus groves. They found only a stump-filled Main Street and most of the colonists left. John Hamilton Gillespie, a Scottish aristocrat, lawyer and member of the Royal Company of Archers, Queen's Bodyguard for Scotland, built what is believed to be America's first golf course in Sarasota. Gillespie also built the DeSoto Hotel on Main Street for tourists and prospective investors. In 1902, he was elected as Sarasota's first mayor.
Scottish influence remains evident through the annual Sarasota Highland Games and Festival and the Riverview High Kiltie band, which wears authentic kilts and features bagpipers and Highland dancers. The Crowley Museum and Nature Center in eastern Sarasota vividly demonstrates what life was like for Sarasota's first settlers in the late 19th century.
Sarasota Florida began attracting wealthy Americans in the 1910's as it does today. Bertha Palmer, widow of Chicago developer Potter Palmer, came to Sarasota and built extensive gardens on her waterfront winter estate, Osprey Point, which is today's Historic Spanish Point. Palmer also purchased a 30,000-acre ranch in eastern Sarasota which is now Myakka River State Park.
John Ringling, of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus fame, made a mark on the community of Sarasota in various ways. In the 1920s, he and his wife, Mable, built a magnificent Venetian-style estate on Sarasota Bay named Cà d' Zan. Then they built an art museum for their collection of works by Peter Paul Rubens and other 17th-century Italian and Flemish art. In addition, John used his circus elephants to help build the first bridge from the mainland to St. Armands Key, which he developed as a commercial and residential center.
The circus' winter quarters were moved to Sarasota Florida in 1927, thus creating a new identity for Sarasota Florida as a circus town. Now Sarasota is known as the Circus Capitol of the World and is home to many circuses. In 1949, the gymnastics program at Sarasota High School was expanded to include circus acts and the Sarasota Sailor Circus was born. Sarasota County is the only public school system in the United States that sponsors an after school youth circus program known as the Sailor Circus and is also home to Ringling's Clown College
Sarasota became a mecca for modern architecture between 1941 and 1966 when a group of architects came together to debate the philosophies of abstract expressionism in a creative community with a cultural tradition ready to accept tenets of modernist design. The result was a remarkable body of work known as the Sarasota School of Architecture and their work is still enjoyed here today.
