Description
Lettuce Lake Park is one of many of Florida's Hillsborough County Parks along the Hillsborough River. Even though this park is within the city limits and abuts the University of South Florida, it's possible to rent a canoe or kayak here and paddle for miles. These photos were taken from the trail that meanders through the park and ends at the dock. there are many very large cypress trees with gigantic knobs that in some cases take on the appearance of little old men. There's quite a bit of wildlife, with many of our lovely birds and the occasional alligator. There are many different parks along the banks of the river that also act to allow the river to flood during the wet season here, rather than cause havoc by flooding properties along the river. The river goes on through downtown where new tourist attractions have replaced polluting industries along the river. The river is such a lovely place for peace and quiet.
