Conservation Park Closures
Due to significant damage along the Hillsborough River from Hurricane Milton, the Florida Department of Emergency Management will be clearing debris from the river.
The following sites will be closed until further notice to allow crew staging and for crews to safely remove debris from the river:
- Dead River Conservation Park
- John B Sargeant Conservation Park
- Trout Creek Conservation Park
- Morris Bridge Conservation Park's West entrance and boat ramp
There will be no public access to the river at this time.
Popular for hiking, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and picnicking, this park is part of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail. It’s near where Trout Creek flows into the Hillsborough River. Off-road bicyclists use the Wilderness Trail that runs through the park, and connects to Flatwoods and Morris Bridge conservation parks.
