Get Fit Exploring Nature In the 2021 Hiking Spree

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL — Bloomingdale and Riverview residents can take a walk on the wild side in the 2021 Hiking Spree.

If you're wanting to increase your health or just enjoy a simple walk in nature, Hillsborough County officials encourage residents to take advantage of the different trail levels offered at parks around the county. For a short walk in nature, take a stroll at Riverview's Stephen J. Wortham Park. If you're up for a bigger challenge, head over to Alafia River State Park and experience 20-miles of hilly trails.

The Hiking Spree officially kicked off in November and ends March 31.

If you'd like to keep track of your progress and explore the list of hiking parks, register at 2021 Hiking Spree.

Participants who hike a minimum of eight designated trails by March 31 will receive an award.

Hikers may repeat any trail twice for credit, as long as the hikes occur on different dates, officials said.
