Ruskin is located in
Hillsborough County just south of
Tampa between Tampa and
Bradenton Beach along Hwy 41 near Tampa Bay and the
Gulf of Mexico. Ruskin is part of the
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida metro area.
Once considered "off the beaten track," Ruskin is now within easy commuting distance of several urban centers. As a result, Ruskin's rural character is giving way to a more diverse population which still finds sanctity in a quiet lifestyle.
Nearby fresh water lakes allow for boating, fishing, swimming, and water skiing in this community.
