Hillsborough River State Park Tours and Activities

A suspension bridge built by the CCC crossing the Hillsborough River.
A wood stork next to a great egret. These 2 appeared to be buddies standing right next to each other. I think this was a prime fishing platform. If you ever have the chance to float this river in a kayak make sure that you do it. The bird and reptile life along this river is amazing.
A white ibis family with adults and juveniles along with tri colored herons. I love the old mahogany trees that make the background habitat so beautiful.
A pair of Tri Colored Herons perched on a stump in the backwaters of the Hillsborough River.
A black vulture waiting for a full meal. These birds are not quite as homely as the turkey vultures in the midwest. These birds are appropriately named with black eyes, beak and feathers.

I loved having everything ready to use. I do love the proximity of the beach. We have small children so the pool was great as well not too cold at all. The view was gorgeous!!! Lots of really nice people and patient people at the resort.
