Rainbow Springs
Located inside Rainbow Springs State Park near the charming city of Dunnellon, these springs are home to thousands of years of history and even a few waterfalls.
Kayak and canoe rentals are popular, but visitors can also enjoy swimming, tubing, paddling, or hiking the trails. This is one of those freshwater springs in Florida that’s often considered the most picturesque of the state’s springs.
So you can work up a sweat strolling through the park and cool off in the springs for a perfect day outdoors afterward. And like most Florida State Parks, Rainbow Springs will allow you to bring your pets as long as they’re kept on a six-foot leash and don’t enter the water.
