Rainbow River is one of the clearest springs in Florida.   It’s like you’re flying underwater the visibility is so good.    It includes a large headspring, Rainbow Spring, that has a swimming area roped off.  Depths reach 16 feet.  There are several vents throughout the headspring and lots of rock formations to explore.  Bass and Brim swim all around you including a 15 lb. Bass thats been there awhile.  The site also has tropical gardens and trails including 2 artifical waterfalls that are picturesque.  Depths in Rainbow River average about 7 feet.  You can rent canoes from Rainbow Springs State Park or take one of the many tour/dive boats down the river.  There is no diving allowed in the headsprings.
