- Myakka River State Park 2014 - We get up close and personal with huge killer alligators. The Kayak trip ended at what they call the deep hole where many alligators hangout. Some up to 13 feet long and weighing 700 pounds! Photos at ChooseSarasota.com
One of the oldest and largest state parks, Myakka protects one of the state´s most diverse natural areas. The Myakka River, designated as a Florida Wild and Scenic River, flows through 58 square miles of wetlands, prairies, hammocks, and pinelands. Visitors can enjoy wildlife viewing from a boardwalk that stretches out over the Upper Myakka Lake, then take to the treetops with a stroll along the canopy walkway. The park´s river and two lakes provide ample opportunities for boating, freshwater fishing, canoeing, and kayaking; a boat ramp provides access to Upper Myakka Lake. Hikers can explore trails that cross large expanses of rare Florida dry prairie. Scenic lake tours are offered daily on the world´s two largest airboats. Safari tram tours of the park´s backcountry are offered from mid-December through May. Full-facility campgrounds and primitive campsites are available. Five palm log cabins, built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, have been modernized for comfortable lodging. Located nine miles east of Sarasota on State Road 72.
Beautiful scenery, I love Myakka and the music you used, damn it's good! Real good. Thanks for sharing. :)
Absolutely love your video by the way. We live in Philly and have my grandmom down there and we visit the park when we can. Its truly the best place in earth. Seeing an animal in the zoo is lame; seeing it in its natural habitat is AWESOME
I am digging this song.
Great video. Love the deep hole, but I take exception to your title "killer alligators". I am the author of 2 Florida kayak guide books and have kayaked hundreds of times with alligators, all over the state and have yet to encounter an aggressive gator unless it has been fed by humans and learned to associate humans with food. There are far too many kayakers who are missing some of the best paddles in the world because they are frightened of "killer" alligators.
Great video..great music...lousy title.
MrEddebus why don't you go swimming then in there and let me know if they aren't "killer" gators. lol
@@rarto34677 I'm a native Floridian, Rich. I've swam in the same waters as big alligators and have lived to tell the tale. The title does create unneccesary fear mongering. Alligators do not like people and will avoid them, if possible.
@@ArmednotTriggered I'm a native Floridian also.
I'd rather be among the "too many kayakers who are missing some of the best paddles in the world because they are frightened of killer gators" than to be gone "missing" because of falling prey to a gator who was fed by humans.
The only thing "killer" is humans who do nothing but destroy. Alligators Arent what people thanks...and I too live in Florida. So Im like the original commenter. Love the video. Hate the title.
Beautiful video
Awesome video! Apparently, this is THE place to be if you want to see a lot of alligators! What a hidden gem. I want to visit this beautiful place at some point. I live in Seminole County, FL so Sarasota isn't too far.
I'll give you a tour if you ever make it down here! I know all the "secret" spots, nest locations, water holes during the dry season, etc. I go to Myakka 4 or 5 times a month and would be happy to show anyone around!
What are ya waiting for!
@@andyjones7121 I'm interested! We'll be visiting very soon, as in 3 days, will you be available?
Really nice video!
The minute this video starts and music started playing, my mom shouted YOU BETTER DONT LET ME CATCH YA WITH SOME STRIPTEASE SHIT I TELL YA!
Lovely...
Killer Gators ?????? You have to be joking.
I have been around Gators for all my life ( 72 years ) and they do there best to avoid a person. I leave them along and they leave me alone if they don't just vanish from sight. You want to be in the middle of giant gators then paddle;e the Okefenokee Swamp , there are some big boys in there and they even avoid you. I can't swear to it but it sure appeared that some were longer then my 16 foot canoe.
You do have some nice video of docile , sun bathing and relaxing Gators.
Myakka River Killer Alligators
Braver than I. Amazing photography. I have not yet attempted a trip to the deep hole. The geological descriptions makes it sound like a portal to Hell. No thank you!
Lol! It's not like that at all. I just got back from visiting there with my children, just don't go at dawn nor dusk, don't feed them, don't take pets with you nor small children and you're good. And go when the water level is low like during this time and you can see the shape of the deep hole, otherwise you won't distinguish it. And the birdwalk is a beautiful place to see sunrises & sunsets, also recommend it while water levels are low, heard that during rainy season the water even goes over the walkway.😯
I miss living in Florida and hiking there.
+Craig Shipp I moved back to Maryland. We are in a heat spell now that's been putting the real feel about 115 for days! LOL
bet you don't miss the bugs though. lol
Killer?
Yes they kill to eat.
@@MidAtlanticTV ~yes, so do you, so do I, so do every one of the herons and ibis. You shot a GREAT video; too bad your desire to hype it negatively impacts what you made.
@@MikeS29 it's doing ok. I hope you don't me not taking tips from folks with one subscriber. By the way your one subscriber is me : )
@@MidAtlanticTV I'm not giving you tips, I'm giving you my opinion. If you don't like it, that's fine. I don't need to be a RUclips publisher to have an opinion. I'm not on here to get subscribers or to have my "channel do ok." I found your video interesting and well shot, but poorly named. That's all. I'm certainly not the only person who has pointed this video title issue out to you. It's your video; if you like it, great.
Those gators don't look like they're ready to kill anytime soon
They don't feed in the winter.
Does anyone know the history of Moses?, a 14 foot gator that they killed because it wasn't afraid of humans anymore and approached them in a menacing manner? I was 6 yrs old when this happened, I am 48 now, but I'll never forget Moses, a huge, hulking, majestic creaturE!!!!!!
That's a shame.
CraigShipp.com Yeah, they would call its name, on the Gator Gal motorized boat, and it would surface. I don't remember the captain feeding it, as I was like 6, but he must have for it to come. I just remember a huge hulking alligator, bigger than a Nile crocodile. It was a beautiful, majestic creaturE
Enjoyed watching. I definitely need to go kayaking there.
great video editing. BTW an alligator is only a killer alligator if you get too close...they are otherwise very shy
They are large apex predators and will eat anything smaller than them if hungry
Great video, Thanks for sharing
2:26 I like that alligator
Killer alligators?
Yes, they kill to eat.
@@MidAtlanticTV ...So do you...
@@MikeS29 actually I have killers that do that for me : )
@@MidAtlanticTV Humans are the real killers bud. Been around North Florida alligators all my life and have never seen one behave aggressively. You know and we know that the title is misleading.
@@sclarin2 They kill to eat. I didn't say anything about killing humans.
Great video! What camera(s) was/were used to shoot this?
"Killer" alligators is nonsense click bait.
They kill to eat.
@@MidAtlanticTV By that logic, humans, cats, dogs, geckos, chameleons, salamanders, skunks, possums and Praying Mantises (among many others) are "Killers" too.
@@litigatorcoachd9333 Correct.
Thats just a gator meal waiting to happen.
In from Indiana ill be in Miami I know not to go near no water no pounds lake ⛳ cause of gators its there home and there truff ill be where the tourist Miami beach that's eit
These gator's and croc's eat to survive who they are look alike to me,and multiply after a female give's birth to her babies if a monitor lizard doesn't eat her egg's first after the female had laid them. Survival for these creature's is very very slim
Killer gators? Well yea they didn't go vegetarian or anything but by that standard you also had killer cranes. The music was good but didn't fit the scenery.
Yes, birds are expert killers! www.craigshipp.com/downloads
I'm from srq,. Killer alligator s. Ur wrong,. There awesome man ,don't scare away the boaters please !!!!!!
They must kill to eat.
