Opened in 1938, Hillsborough River State Park is 3,950 acres of nature trails through riverside live oak hammocks. The park also features canoeing, swimming and camping. Fort Foster, an historic site, is located within the park; learn about it through the living history programs. And every first weekend in December the park hosts the Derby Day Festival, a road race for the physically challenged of all ages and abilities.
