About Alafia River State Park
Hurrah Lake sits at the center of this park's land, a spot that drew people for recreation as far back as the early 1880s, long before the property became a state park. The park lies along County Road 39 in central Florida, southeast of Tampa. Its history as a gathering place for leisure predates its designation as protected land.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
