Rainbow Springs and the Rainbow River

The Rainbow River is a crystal clear fresh water paradise enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. Fishing, canoeing, swimming and tubing are a great way to see the river. Rainbow Springs State Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the United States and is in the heart of Dunnellon.

 

Archaeological evidence indicates that people have been using this spring for nearly 10,000 years. Rainbow Springs is Florida's fourth largest spring and, from the 1930s through the 1970s, was the site of a popular, privately-owned attraction. The Rainbow River is popular for swimming, snorkeling, canoeing, and kayaking. Canoes and kayaks can be rented at both the headsprings and the campground. A picnic area at the spring includes tables, grills, and pavilions.

Great horse riding / equestrian areas

 

There is no limit to the equine activities visitors can choose from. For recreational riding, one can ride on trails in the scenic Ocala National Forest and the Florida Greenway. It's an exciting way to experience some of Florida's most naturally diversified areas.

 

The Greenway Trail System was created from land that was originally intended to be used for the creation of a Cross Florida Barge Canal. The 70,000-acre, 110-mile long corridor is a multiuse recreation and conservation area that can be enjoyed by people and wildlife in Florida. Riders on the Greenway will pass through a collection of landscapes capturing the natural beauty of Florida. Trails offer two different difficulty levels: laid-back relaxing rides and more challenging areas with a variety of obstacles.

 

The Greenway land is a mile-wide corridor that bisects Marion County, crossing I-75 near the southern most exit of I-75 in the county. An innovative project created a land bridge over the Interstate suitable for wildlife and trail users alike. The project is the first of its kind in the United States, incorporating established trails and natural vegetation and linking trails on both sides of the highway. Ocala trail riders also enjoy traveling a short distance to established equestrian areas in the Withlacoochee State Forest and Goethe State Park.
