I return to Myakka River State Park to attempt the entire 32.7 mile loop (actually closer to 37?) in one day while on vacation in Sarasota Florida. I have not had good luck on this trail. Last year the trail was destroyed from a tropical storm and this year most of the trail was under water and tested my will power.
