The recent hurricanes caused significant damage and forced us to close many parks locations, including:
- Conservation, neighborhood, and specialty parks
- Nature preserves
- Sports complexes and rec centers
- Boat ramps
While most park locations have opened, due to damage and continued safety concerns, some remain closed.
Before visiting any park location, please use the "Find Park Status" button below to see if the location is on the closed/partially closed list.
This conservation park features a popular 7.5-mile equestrian trail, located east of Brandon, and is high and dry most of the year. The trail has changes in contour because of its history as a reclaimed phosphate mine. The trailhead has plenty of space for horse trailers, plus an informational kiosk and trail map. Please note, we do not provide horseback riding rentals; you must bring your own horse.
The trail is located at 535 N. Dover Rd. Take Hwy. 60 to N. Dover Road and turn north. Continue approximately ½ mile to parking area on the east side of the road.
