OFFICIAL INFO:

I've been here about 5 times. It's only open weekends but it's also sometimes closed because it's wet. It's basically the Hillsborough River State Park continued but owned by the county. I assume it has a similar feel but don't know yet.

2) Kinds of Birds

Say a least bittern in the lake next to the road while a guy was mowing his lawn... might be good things.

3) Wildlife

Anything is possible since it's part of a wide swath of protected land. The forest is generally so dense in Hillsborough River SP that you don't get to see too much so this is likely similar.

4) Amenities

A very effective gate and restrictive hours.

5) Directions

The end of Dead River Road.

6) Dear Ranger

I wish you had a bigger budget to have more hours.

Experience

If you are also denied entry you can enter the combo Model Dairy / Wetlands Restoration trail part of Hillsborough State Park / Fort King Trail segment on the right as you approach the gate to this. Barely room to park.
