Upper Myakka Lake

 Squirrel fleeing high water at the cabin

 Welcoming committee as I launched the kayak on Upper Myakka Lake

 Looking for where the Myakka River enters Upper Myakka Lake

Still looking

The concession

Inside the concession, well outside, on the balcony.

 Back at the cabin

Where you can see why it was a good idea for the cabins to be placed on pillars.

 To get them above the annual summer rains

 All the water made me want to kayak.

 So I did

.

 The Myakka is very high when you can paddle behind benches on the bank

 And, accessible picnic tables

 Kayak accessible

Touching the Park Road bridge.

 Sharing photos at the concession

 Wet trail at the Canopy Walkway.

Wet? More like flooded.

 Ankle deep, at least.

Last summer, before the pillars, the cabin would have been flooded.
