Description
As you look at this photo it may surprise you that this lovely little park is in the middle of Florida's most densely populated county. Cliff Stephens Park is in Pinellas County, Florida. It is managed as part of the Southwest Florida Water Management District.It is located in Clearwater, Florida. It is 44 acres (180,000 m2) in size. The park provides for stormwater and flood management, and includes trails for bicycling, hiking and inline skating, as well as opportunities for boating, fishing, frisbee golf, a 19 station exercise course, and picnic area. When I first did my morning run through the park, it somehow felt that I was in the midst of a miniature version of the Everglades. It really took my breath away...the loveliness of this little patch of wilderness in the midst of the city. From here you can get on a bicycle trail that in a few years will network with trails that travel all the way across the state...tying together more little bits of wild lands.
