Hillsborough River State Park

Hillsborough River State Park was developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1936 and opened to the public in 1938. This 3,950-acre park offers camping, picnicking, canoe rentals and seasonal swimming in an ADA accessible man-made swimming pool. Nature trails allow visitors to wander through hammocks of live oaks, sabal palms and hickories which border the scenic Hillsborough River. The trails are wide, however, caution should be taken when walking the trails due to the erosion and exposed roots which make the surface rough.

RESOURCES
Other activities found in the park include canoeing and freshwater fishing off the banks of the Hillsborough River. The river has one of Florida's only class II rapids. Canoes are not allowed to travel up this part of the river.
