Confirmed from Upper Hillsborough Wildlife Management Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Upper Hillsborough Wildlife Management Area
Odd that it shares a fence with a mobile home park. About 3 miles outside of Zephyrhills. Very nice central Florida boondocking space. Several campsites have tables and firepits
