Rainbow Springs State Park
Admission includedAt Rainbow Springs State Park, the water runs a shade of blue-green that barely seems real. Fed by one of Florida's largest first-magnitude springs, the river emerges from the earth at a steady 68 degrees year-round, so clear you can watch sunlight ripple across the sandy bottom from several feet above. Rainbow Springs State Park draws swimmers, snorkelers, and quiet-seekers alike to its spring-fed shallows and restored native gardens.
