I am just a city girl with a cellphone camera, so I can't give you details except that there are many types of birds including eagles, squirrels, gators, turtles, deers and other animals, but check out the quality photos posted by other reviewers. The trail on wooden boardwalk is well maintained, there's a lookout tower. Near the parking lot there's a dog park as well as a children playground too. Definitely one of the better parks to go spend some time outdoors.

A lot of different birds to see and it's great for a walk or bike ride. We loved walking here during the Safety Harbor BDR (race) and took our time to enjoy the views. I have visited several times and every time it is gorgeous on the way in and out. Appreciate the varied places to stop, rest and take photos too.

There are workout stations along the trail, part of the "outdoor gym". Additionally, there is interesting informational signage regarding types of native wildlife found. There is a beach adjacent and there are shelters (pavilions) with grills to have picnics as well as bathrooms and water amenities. A canoe/kayak launch is available for you to use to go boating. Important consideration: Parking is via parking meter. I recommend visiting this park if you enjoy nature and its beauty. I enjoyed visiting with friends and will return.

If I lived nearby I'd keep it that way because this Hillsborough county park was an unexpected find that I thought was a beaut. At first glance, a small parking lot, playground and pavilion isn't much. However, once on the hiking trail a nice boardwalk with benches goes over a large lake. I used a trail guide from a QR code that led me to a Hillsborough park website to help me navigate because most signs in the park are colored posts and colors on trees indicating the path the hiker is on. I didn't see any signs indicating where paths went or their distance once at the park When I visited Lake Dan Preserve, I went straight (over the bridge/boardwalk) and took the second left (the red trail) and a few feet down is a picturesque lake that would make a great back drop for photos or an amazing place to relax by a small pond. Turn right and go down the yellow trail and you can hike into neighbouring Lake Francis Preserve. I choose to vear off and hike the connecting blue trail. The blue trail goes down a gravel road into several large open pastures. I must've said this is gorgeous 15 times. A short time later the trail turns as the back side of Trinity starts to come into view in the distance. As the path continues, it leads to Lake Dan and a fishing pier. It's basically a shorter version of the park's entrance bridge looking out a vibrant and large lake. Birds, fish and some cows mooing in the distance makes the pier a nice place to relax. Although, I can't imagine hiking that distance to find it crowded. When I visited Lake Dan my car was the only one in the parking lot and I didn't see another person inside the park. I plan on visiting this preserve again as I thought some it's views we're nice enough to be back drops in movie scenes. It's wide open spaces and lack of people inside made it's trails an excellent place to enjoy a peaceful hike.
