Class I Old Tampa Bay, FL

Old Tampa Bay Upper Tampa Bay Park Trail

Hillsborough County founded the Upper Tampa Bay Conservation Park in 1982 to provide a protected area for nature study and passive recreation. The 596-acre peninsular park also protects valuable coastal habitat and ecological communities that include mangrove forests, salt marshes, freshwater marshes, coastal hammocks, and pine flatwoods.

The park’s canoe/kayak launch provides access to the creek and bay, which are excellent places for game fish, including red drum and snook.

You can purchase regularly priced park and boat ramp passes at the following administrative offices or conservation parks:

Bell Creek Administrative Office

Conservation Parks Administration Office
