Rainbow Springs State Park is a popular
destination to swim, snorkel, canoe, kayak,
picnic, or stroll on the walking paths. This

million gallons of crystalline water each day
and is the main attraction at the park.
For
fishermen the City boat ramp is on the adjoining
property to the motel.
 For swimmers the
City Beach is a short walk from us. Just ask for
directions.
