More trails in the works for Tampa Bay, thanks to Southwest Florida Water Management District. Their newly minted management plan for Chito Branch Reserve – another reservior for thirsty Tampa Bay – in southeastern Hillsborough County includes networks of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails … and they need volunteers to make it happen. Meanwhile, you’re welcome to wander through the woods; the main entrance is off Browning Road, with another planned off CR 39. More details in this article from the Tampa Tribune.
