About: Some of the most challenging off-road bicycling trails in Florida can be found at Alafia River State Park. Located on what was once a phosphate mining site, the unique topography of the reclaimed land offers some of Floridas most radical elevation changes.
Alafia State Park is home to 14 miles of bike trails, ranging from beginner to advanced. Alafia also offers equestrians and hikers the opportunity to explore mixed hardwood forests, pine flatwoods and rolling hills with 20 miles of hiking and horse trails. The abundance of wildlife found along Alafias trails will delight any bird-watcher or nature enthusiast. The south prong of the Alafia River and lakes scattered throughout the park provide ample opportunities for canoeing and fishing.
The 6,260 acre park also offers picnic pavilions, a playground, horseshoe pit and volleyball court are available. For overnight stays, the park has a full-facility campground for both primitive and RV camping, as well as equestrian friendly campsites.
