Forecast: National Weather Service
Zephyrhills is a small city in east Pasco County, northeast of Tampa, named for its breezy, rolling terrain. It was settled in the early 1900s as a colony for Union Civil War veterans, and today it is known for the bottled water brand that shares its name, one of the busiest skydiving centers in the world and a large community of winter residents.
Where is Zephyrhills?
Zephyrhills is in the Tampa Bay region, about 30 miles northeast of downtown Tampa. US 301 (Gall Boulevard) is the main north-south road and State Road 54 the main east-west route, with State Road 56 and I-75 to the west. Tampa International (TPA) is about 45 to 50 minutes away. The city is fully inland, with Gulf beaches more than an hour west, but Hillsborough River State Park is about 15 to 20 minutes south on US 301.
Things to do in Zephyrhills
Skydiving is the signature activity: the drop zone at Zephyrhills Municipal Airport logs tens of thousands of jumps a year, and spectators can watch canopies land. Near the airport, the Zephyrhills Depot Museum occupies a restored 1927 Atlantic Coast Line depot and covers local and railroad history. Hillsborough River State Park has a rare set of small rapids, plus hiking, paddling and camping. The city celebrates Founders Day each March. Winter is the busiest season, when RV parks and retirement communities fill with seasonal residents, and the dry months from November to April are best for outdoor plans.
