John B. Sargeant, Sr. Memorial Park, is best known for boating access to the Hillsborough River. Downriver, the Hillsborough River State Canoe Trail winds through a jungle of hardwood trees, lilies and birds. Upstream, the river widens to flow through the broad hardwood swamp known as the Seventeen Runs. Park activities and features include a small boat ramp, picnicking, boardwalk, and fishing.
