Myakka River State Park's Deep Hole - Tons of Alligators, Gators Eat Vulture

The "Deep Hole" located in Myakka River State Park Wilderness Preserve area is one of the hidden treasures of Sarasota Florida where a permit is required to enter. Home to hundreds of alligators this area is known to have the largest concentration of gators in Florida.

Seems like a nice place to swim

Right! 🤪

You first!

Wow, great use of the drone. Thanks.

[@LCbabyxO]

Seriously such great footage!!

[@jamiehess4211]

Imagine parachuting into that.....

[@af4od02]

Excellent video. Great videography. I can’t help but wonder are the alligators overpopulated here at this lake. That many gators will require a large food source. Thanks.

[@johndekoyer7588]

Grew up wade fishing all over the lower lake and the river. Best of times in the 70s

[@LynnMassie]

I grew up in this park! My uncle was Superintendent for many years!! Wonderful summer memories,! Great video,! Thanks!!

[@bbmcrae]

Great footage! I've wanted to go there for years. Soooo many gators.

[@oscarderrick]

Some one needs the put up a sign that reads " Democratic swimming only"... 🤣🤣🤣

[@laverdadosharalibres.5542]

I been there like 10 years ago but my friends never told me what i was going to find there 😑

[@possums1010]

that...is...horrifying!!!!!! thanks for showing us a place to stay away from!

[@jeffmcgilvrey2497]

I was under the impression that flying drones is prohibited in FLORIDA State Parks.

[@wademorriss1624]

Nice cinematography

Not the only Hole he like to be all up in 🌈

[@oscarderrick]

I was thinking the same shit...🤣

[@mariebee3146]

Is there any explanation as to why so many gators hang out there?

[@cgtfit2015]

During the dry season, when the lake levels are much lower, all of the fauna congregate in the “deep pool.” So there’s lots of gator food that flock to this area. The pool itself is pretty deep, something like 130ft, and below 30ft the water is anoxic. Lots of dead fish at the bottom.

[@hstetser5376]

I've kayaked there a few times. Literally surrounded by gators. The spot at the north end (where the vultures were in your video) seems to be a choice spot for the biggest gators. As you pan around the perimeter, the gators get smaller in size on the southern end of the circle. Gator hierarchy I guess

Where did u launch your kayak

Dang,,, Don't be scared of the Gators you see be terrified of the ones you cant see. 🙀🙀🏊🙈🐊🐊🐊🐊

[@dianecampbell184]

We were lucky enough to go there 3yrs ago, RV camping at Christmas time. Great trail. I was afraid of running into wild boar in the brush, but didn’t. I guess my intuition was right, it’s good habitat for them. Welcome to WILD Florida. 🌴🌴🌴

Why do you have valley girl accent? Also the gators are cool.

[@RedBeardedMarketing]

I love this video. I filmed a couple videos for my channel this past winter at Myakka State Park as well.

[@SSHitMan]

A lake full of gators with vultures circling above...

[@panicmosem5969]

There used to be a gator pond here in the barrier islands near Savannah but due to years of tourism, storms, and being shown on TV in a special like this, it's gone... nothing there but a puddle of trash! So sad and pathetic. I hope this place remains in a state of natural beauty.... but I doubt it will forever.

[@g-streetboy1353]

I'm from Savannah n I agree

Most Amazing! I never knew there was such a place

[@mgoogleuser8011]

is Kayaking or canoeing allowed there?

[@curte7739]

Went here a few years ago could not believe the number of gators.

[@haiquoc2013]

Is kayaking near gators dangerous? Kayaks are very low to the water and can flip?!?!

[@panicmosem5969]

People do it every day

[@IbeJaleel]

You answered your own question. Stay away unless you want to be on the menu.

[@onepunch9203]

Very nice. Great footage. Q: That hole is nearly circular which is not normal in flowing water..... was it formed from a man-made structure?

[@ChEd-kv2eb]

Short answer: sinkhole filled from underground water Long answer: read up on karst topography. Florida is a great example of this geological landscape.

Drones are illegal there , this has been sent to FAA and state of FL.

Why is it that gay people’s voice and dialect changes lmao. Sexual preference is irrelevant to this and says that they purposely act the way they do, dress the way they do, and speak the way they do for attention.

[@bbmcrae]

You just watched incredible drone footage of a one-of-a-kind spot full of beautiful and dangerous alligators...and that's your observation? You incredibly strange, dumb bigot? Btw, bros who are obsessed with gay people tend to be deeply closeted. So...good luck with your journey. We're all rooting for you. Even the gators.

[@smokendt]

What's that got to do with a freaking thing about this video.

[@dvdrakiepoo6950]

@@smokendt well, the presentation spoken dialogue is literally 50% of the video’s source info. The visual is the other 50%. So.......... I dont know, you add it up.

The host doesn't strike me necessarily as gay. He does sound Canadian though. Why are you obsessed about gay people? Why do you write the way you do?
