About	Weedon Island Preserve is a national protected area comprising upland and coastal ecosystems along Old Tampa Bay's western shoreline. The park is over 3,000 acres and features more than four miles of hiking trails, including a boardwalk, paved and natural trails.

Picnic areas scattered along the trail provide visitors an opportunity to relax and appreciate their surroundings under the shade of towering oaks.
