Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park

This city-owned park is free and open to the public. The trail system follows the Myakkahatchee Creek. We saw an alligator, egret, owl, lizards, and more. For the most part, the area is undisturbed. Parking is convenient and bathrooms are available.

Hands down one of our favorite places to go! Trails are all maintained wonderfully, the trees and vegetation all seem so tropical, plenty of parking, plenty of trails, places to have a picnic - don’t sleep on this place!

It is a awesome place to bring your family and friends take photos. It is a dog friendly Park beautiful oak trees a lot of shade for hiking you will not be disappointed there is a restroom there on the premises. It's probably one of the best parks I've been in in a while.

Nice place to get some exercise. There is good signage at all the forks in the road and even along the trails so it is easy to navigate. The city of North Port deserves a lot of credit for that. The creek was mostly dry in March so there wasn’t much to see there. I thought the white trail had the best canopy for viewing nature so be sure to take that detour off of the yellow trail.
