Hiking and much more

Mountain biking
Alafia River State Park features hilly terrain left behind by old phosphate mines. And that’s a good thing for bikers and hikers looking for a challenge. Plus, there’s an on-site bike shop, camping, glamping, watersports and more than 20 miles of trails for horseback riding.
