Hillsborough River State Park
A half-hour north of Tampa, this is one of the finest hiking trails in the state. Look for red-shouldered hawks in the sky above and otters in the river below as you hike along the banks of the Hillsborough. Be sure to take the "rapids" trail, a rare treat in a state that is as flat as a pancake. They have two bridges that cross over the river, one is a cool suspensions bridge. This is the only state Park that I know of that has a pool! The campground has nice shade trees with trails that make it a short walk to all the actives. Great place for one of Florida Oldscool Camper RV Rentals.
