About
The FishHawk Creek Preserve is an approximately 1,550 acre site located in Southeastern Hillsborough County. The Preserve is located along the riparian corridor of FishHawk Creek, a significant tributary of the Alafia River. As a result, the acquisition and protection of the Fish Hawk Creek Preserve has provided an essential link in assuring the long-term protection of a significant regional habitat corridor. The preserve is bisected by FishHawk Blvd., and is identified by a north section and a south section. The south portion of the Preserve has a basketball court, 2 pavilions, and a trail head for over 6 miles of hiking trails on the preserve. While you may see the preserves name sake, the osprey also known commonly as a Fish Hawk, there are many opportunities to view an array of wildlife on the preserve.
