Due to recent storms, Sydney Dover Conservation Park is now being used by FEMA as a debris site - there is no estimated reopening date at this time. This debris site is not open to the public nor collecting storm related debris from residents. (Updated 11/27/24)
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.
