Alafia River State Park
Deep in Lithia lie the 6312 acres of mostly forest that make up Alafia River State Park. This is a popular place for bicyclists. Off the sides of the mixed-use trail are countless bicycle trails. These trails are narrow, twisted, and very hilly due to the entire place having been used as a phosphate mine in the past. Mountains are a rarity in Florida and this is one place for mountain bikers to get their fix. They are rated as “epic” by the IMBA (International Mountain Bicycling Association).
Alafia River State Park also has a nice campground, nice picnic spots, and fishing ponds. There are also extensive walking trails, which are shared by bicycles, horses, and cute tortoises.
