The Alafia River State Park Mountain Bike Patrol, a volunteer program, provides certification training through the National Mountain Bike Patrol program supported by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA). The patrol unit operates in the Alafia River State Park trail system located in Lithia, FL. (Near Tampa, just South of Brandon on highway 39). Patrollers educate, inform and assist all trail users for the purpose of maintaining and promoting trail opportunities for the sport of mountain biking.

The Alafia River State Park Bike Patrol (the "Patrol" or "ARBP") is a National Mountain Bike Patrol member organization focused on educating mountain bikers, serving as a communications link with land managers, and offering first aid and assistance to all trail users. It is the mission of the Patrol to assist, inform, and educate without passing judgment or enforcing policy, to render aid to all who need and want it, and to foster responsible trail use in the mountain biking community. The Patrol leads by example by respecting all regulations of land management agencies as well as the IMBA Rules of the Trail.
