Hillsborough River State Park

894.3(374)

Editor's take

It combines Class II rapids, river paddling, and a historic fort in one low-key natural escape near Tampa.

What visitors say

Visitors tend to highlight the quiet natural setting, river views, and trail/paddling options.

Quiet state park north of Tampa with river rapids, trails, paddling, camping, and historic Fort Foster. A solid pick for nature and outdoor time close to the city.
