The Myakka River is a 68-mile-long river located in southwestern Florida. It is one of the oldest and most scenic rivers in the state and has been used by humans for over 12,000 years. The river is fed by several small tributaries and is known for its unique hydrology, including the presence of sinkholes and underground rivers. There are no major reservoirs or dams on the river, but the state of Florida has set aside large portions of the river as protected areas for recreational use. The river is popular for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, and is also used for agricultural purposes, including cattle grazing and citrus farming. Despite being threatened by pollution and development, the Myakka River remains an important natural resource and a popular destination for visitors to Florida.
