Little Manatee River State Park

Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the lush ecosystems found within the park, including sand pine and oak scrub and oxbow wetlands, which can be found while hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, or camping.

The Little Manatee River begins near Fort Lonesome and flows almost 40 miles before emptying into Tampa Bay. The river has been designated an Outstanding Florida Water and is part of the Cockroach Bay Aquatic Preserve.
