The access road to Myakkahatchee Creek
Environmental Park in North Port has been closed due to flooding.
Rain from Tropical Storm Fay in northern Florida,
combined with local rains, caused the Myakka River to overflow in the
Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, 6968 Reistertown Road.
“This is something that happens every year, usually
a little bit earlier in the year,” said Rick Storsberg, naturalist for
Sarasota County Parks and Recreation. “We close the access road for
public safety. We will reopen the road when the water recedes and we can
get in there to repair it.”
Myakkahatchee Park covers 160 acres and offers
picnic areas, hiking trails and natural habitats for hundreds of plant
and animal species.
