Exploring Dead River Park in Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve

Описание: Exploring in Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve at an area known as Dead River Park. It is an area located near the Hillsborough River. A nice secluded wilderness here with some interesting history. During the mid-1900's there was once a small community here known as "Dead River" with cabins and a fish camp it was a nice retreat for many who came here to get away from it all. Old homesteads and ranches dotted the landscape here. Exploring through the woods here you can get a sense of that as it is so peaceful with many scenic views of the hardwoods, swamps and river. I hiked along the forest roads here and some trails as well searching for traces from the past. It is a great area for fishing, biking and hiking. I noticed a group campsite off one of the trails by the river as well. Exploring here takes you back to old Florida, Enjoy the adventure and thank you!
