Alafia River Corridor Nature Preserve is a 4,700 acre area of protected lands in Hillsborough County, Florida.[1] There are two trailheads for the preserves's hiking trails, one located at the north boundary of the Pinecrest Sports Complex on Hwy. 39 approximately one mile north of Hwy. 640 [2] and one located on Hwy. 39 just north of Jameson Rd. [3]

This nature preserve is managed by Hillsborough County's Conservation and Environmental Lands Management Department. The area helps protect a portion of the Alafia River, a tributary of Tampa Bay, and its floodplain. In addition to hiking, horseback riding, fishing, a picnic area, geocache stashes, and camping are provided for in the park.[4]
