Find a Park

Class II rapids are a rarity in Florida, but you can find them at beautiful Hillsborough River State Park. Just minutes from downtown Tampa, this diverse park offers a refuge from city life with its seven miles of nature trails and ample places to cool off in the water.

Florida's cowboy heritage comes alive with living history demonstrations of the early Florida "cow hunters" in an 1876-era cow camp. White-tailed deer, bald eagles, sandhill cranes, turkeys and bobcats have been seen in the park, located on the shores of lakes Kissimmee, Tiger and Rosalie.

The majestic Myakka River flows though 58 square miles of one of Florida’s oldest and largest parks. This diverse landscape includes prairies, hammocks, pinelands, and wetlands which beckon visitors to explore its natural beauty.
