Hillsborough River State Park Preservation Society

In 1936 President Roosevelt’s “New Deal” program, the Civilian Conservation Corps, established the Hillsborough River State Park, where nature and history continue to come together for Florida's citizens and visitors. Today this 3,383 acre state park—among Florida's first—allows guests to experience environmental diversity, meet wildlife, and spend quality time outside in the "real Florida." Whether you bike, bird, hike, paddle or picnic, this park will impress you. The park relies on the Preservation Society to support it's mission and ensure that it remains a showcase for Florida's nature and history. Whatever your age, skills, or abilities, you can be a part of the Hillsborough River State Park family!
