Adventure enthusiasts revere the Alafia River in Florida for its mountain bike trails. Wait... what? Florida doesn't have mountains. At least, it doesn't have natural ones. This reclaimed phosphate mining site offers world-class trails for mountain bikers. That's because some of the steepest elevation changes in Florida are here. If your ride needs a tune-up, check out the full-service bike shop on-site. Rent a bike if you don't travel with one.
Alafia River State Park also has equestrian and hiking trails. Discover some 20 miles of routes that take you through forests and flatwoods. Bright blue lakes offer a cool respite during hot summer days. You can also put in your canoe to explore the waterways by boat. Occasional picnic sites give you a chance to enjoy lunch near the water.
