Snook Haven Park
5000 E. Venice Ave., Venice, FL 34292
What is Snook Haven Park?
Snook Haven Park is a 2.5 acre parcel in Venice located on the wild and scenic Myakka River. Sarasota County acquired Snook Haven Park in 2006 to increase public access to the waterfront. The property consists of a two-story single family home, five cottages, a restaurant, entertainment stage area, and boat and kayak launching facilities.

Snook Haven has been historically known as an old fish camp. Today, the park is popular for shoreline fishing, kayak and canoe rentals and its riverfront restaurant known for live entertainment and old Florida charm.
