Hillsborough River State Park, State park in Hillsborough County, Florida.
The Hillsborough River flows through dense forests with Class II rapids, creating natural barriers among cypress swamps and oak hammocks within the park boundaries.
The park's establishment in 1935 included constructing facilities in National Park Service rustic style, preserving the natural environment while developing recreational spaces.
Fort Foster, established in 1836, stands as an educational center where visitors learn about the Second Seminole War through interpretive programs.
The park maintains seven miles of trails for hiking and cycling, plus designated areas for camping, canoeing, fishing, and wildlife observation.
The park contains Florida's only Class II river rapids outside the panhandle, providing opportunities for intermediate-level kayaking and canoeing experiences.
