I took Toren hiking June 12th at a new location. I’m always looking for local hikes that are a couple of miles in length as that is about how long Toren will last in the backpack. I found this one right on the bay. Basically, McKay Bay Park is a barrier between the trash incinerator (which generates electricity) and the rest of Tampa. There is a trail around it that follows the fenceline. So, we walked the trail. Here’s the route we took:

Near the southwestern end of the hike there was a lookout that you could climb to see the bay. Here’s a panorama of Tampa Bay and Tampa’s Port from that lookout:
