Part of the boating community of Tierra Verde, Fort De Soto Park offers a variety of activities to enjoy, from hiking and mountain biking to canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and visiting historical sites.
The park is home to the Fort De Soto Park's Historic Fort and Museum, which documents the history of the region and features old artillery holds, firing galleys, and spectacular views of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.
