The Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve (LHWP) is one of the largest contiguous recreation areas in Hillsborough County, Florida, encompassing over 16,000 acres of diverse natural landscapes. Visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including paddling on the Hillsborough River, hiking along more than 60 miles of forest trails, and fishing from riverside boardwalks.
In addition to its recreational offerings, the LHWP plays a crucial role in water storage and supply, having been designed to manage floodwaters and support the drinking water needs of the city of Tampa. The preserve also serves as a vital ecological habitat, featuring riverine forests, wetlands, and unique natural features that promote biodiversity and environmental education.
