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 seven miles of nature trails.

Surrounded by quiet woods and huge trees, anglers can spend a relaxing afternoon fishing on the river. The Santa Fe River goes underground in O'Leno State Park and reemerges over three miles away in River Rise Preserve State Park before resuming its journey to the Suwannee River.
