Hillsborough River State Park

Visit Hillsborough River State Park north of Tampa for a swim in their half-acre pool, a hike and lunch at the Pool Side Café. The river provides opportunities for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. The park offers Ranger led tours of Historic Fort Foster Site each weekend. Hikers can walk over seven miles of nature trials: Rapids Trail, Baynard Trail, a sub-section of the Florida Trail and the Wetlands Restoration Trail. The park also offers full-facility camping and a youth/group tent campground.
