This is a relatively easy and flat trail that connect trails within the Hillsborough River State Park with Hillsborough County managed trails. This area was devastated by recent hurricanes, but have mostly been restored to allow for safe trail use.The terrain consists of mostly packed sand/gravel, grass, and some dirt. The route that we'll use starts within Hillsborough River State Park for about a mile before crossing on county-managed trails that will route us to the Hillsborough River. We'll traverse a double-track trail straddled by tall trees, cross a wooden bridge, have multiple spots to view the river, wildflowers, and wildlife.
If we decide to push our mileage, then we can expect to run on mostly single-track grass/dirt trails, with several rooty spots to enjoy a hike. Trail shoes aren't required, but could be helpful should we extend our mileage/hike through the rooty section. Not expecting any muddy or wet areas, which should also mean less or no mosquitoes this time of year. However, it wouldn't hurt to bring bug spray. We'll be under plenty shade through most of the course.
There are no restrooms at the start, but we should have access to a hardened facility about 2.5-3 miles in. Please feel free to bring a camping chair, hydration, and snacks afterwards in the parking area. Bonus points if it's enough to share!
Parking area is within Hillsborough River State Park
