Triple Creek Preserve is a 969-acre preserve located in south Hillsborough County. This preserve provides a critical link between existing preserved ELAPP lands and contributes to a contiguous wildlife corridor that includes a creek system, hardwood wetlands, and upland habitats. Its acquisition connects the Rhodine Scrub and Balm-Boyette Scrub Preserves, creating an extended recreational trail system.
