Charming park only did the first half plan on doing the second half across the street sometime next week. I would say it's about a 30-minute walk if you don't stop and take all the side sightseeing areas.

Loved this little known park in Venice. Trail winds throt thick forest growth and along myakka river. You'll spot lots of turtles and a few gators.

Excellent place for a quiet, short hike. Great views of the Myakka River. Large, easy to follow trails. Within 10 minutes of my hike I saw countless lizards, a gator, and an owl. I highly recommend this area!

Very nice walking trail along the Myakka river. Plenty of benches along the trail, but no public restroom. Dogs are allowed! Wish I saw more wildlife. Hopefully i’ll have better luck next time
