Senator Bob Johnson’s Landing

There are two ways to enjoy this scenic park – by land or by water. A 0.4-mile trail will loop you through a boardwalk lined with trees to a picnic area and the shore of the Myakka River. If you prefer to experience by water, launch a canoe or kayak downstream to the Myakka River Rookery.
