Review:
De Soto National Memorial Park is located about 5 miles from Bradenton, Florida. The 26-acre park is located on a peninsula surrounded by the Manatee River on three sides. Most of the shore, especially on the east side, consists of small sandy beaches.
The park’s coastline is 3,000 feet long and consists mostly of mangroves. There is a great trail running through the park that is very popular with nature enthusiasts, hikers, bikers, and dog owners. Dogs are allowed in the park and on the beaches, but they have to be on a leash. The park is home to many protected plants and animals and the leash ensures that your dog does not interfere with the wildlife or gets injured by other animals.
