Cypress Creek Preserve

Butterflies, woodpeckers, wild pigs, deer, pigmy rattle snakes, armadillos, gopher tortoises, and several species of bird reside in the park.

It is surrounded by a road and grazing lands in an area rapidly populating with suburban housing developments.

Recreational opportunities in the preserve include off-road bicycling and horseback riding.

A free reservation is required for camp sites and must be displayed on vehicle dashboards.

Due to private land holdings, there is no public access beyond TBW (Tampa Bay Water)[clarification needed] to railroad tracks or State Route 52.
