Lots of people love to swim in Rainbow Springs.
According to the official website HERE…
“Archaeological evidence indicates that people have been using this spring for nearly 10,000 years.”
And a note from the park manager, “Summer is here! No time is better to see the true beauty of Rainbow Springs State Park than this time of the year. With the trees all in bloom, the bright green leaves emerged from their winter dormancy, and the songbirds and butterflies enjoying the warm sunny days, park visitors can enjoy all the colors of the rainbow both in and out of the 72 degree water. Before the sweltering heat of summer, come enjoy a stroll through our historic azalea gardens as you pass trickling waterfalls on your way to the butterfly garden and hiking trails, or take a refreshing swim over the deep blue water of the headspring where the Rainbow River emerges from the rock beneath our feet.”
It’s a popular place to swim year round!
But today, let’s stay on the trail.
Because you never know what you’ll see!
Hey!!! It’s Florida!
But one thing for sure…
you’ll see some beautiful fences
and crystal clear water!
Let’s join Tex for Good Fences!

Wow Diane what a gorgeous place to visit! You and your husband visit some of the nicest places. Happy Fall sweet blog friend. Enjoy the end of the week and weekend. Hugs, Julie xo
No alligators? It is a gorgeous place but you couldn't get me in that water! LOL!
ah, i bet you hated that outing.
A bit of a drive for me, but I'll keep it on my maybe list. :)
Cheers
What a beautiful spot. I was surprised at no alligators, too.
It's Florida we expect alligators everywhere. I love that there is a place like this to swim, where I'm assuming it is a safe place away for them.
Have a lovely weekend.
Connie :)

When I come visit ... with your bouquet of Fresh Wisconsin Flowers, please take me to this Florida State Park. I am in love. :-) What a treasure to have to explore.
I grew up in Dunnellon and your blog takes me home again.
I think I'll hop on that boat with the canopy and be lazy as we doodle along - looking at all the beautiful trees and grasses - and maybe we'll pass a man with a bird on his shoulder. Great photos- what a fun place to visit. Have a great weekend my dear.
I would not mind swimming here too. And such gorgeous bamboo fences :) Beautiful area.
wow what a beautiful place-and fun for a swim too
the bird brought back memories we used to raise exotic birds and we had pet cockatoo too
enjoy your weekend Kathy
