The park features wooded picnic areas, a 1.25-mile paved exercise trail, and a 3,500-foot boardwalk with an observation tower that provides scenic views of the Hillsborough River.
In 2024, two new playgrounds were built with swings, adaptive and sensory equipment, and a scavenger hunt where children look for medallions to identify animals and plants.
Park ranger and volunteer-led nature education tours are available on weekends. Canoe and kayaks rentals provide up-close encounters with a variety of aquatic birds and wildlife.
Pets and bicycles are not permitted on the boardwalk.
Canoes and kayaks can be rented on site at the park's entry station. Local rental for up to four hours is $25 (tax included).
