I really enjoy floating down this river. The float is about 4 hours of scenic, relaxing fun. You can bring drinks and food on the river as long as none of it is stored in disposable containers. There is also a state park that only costs $1 to get into and is very beautiful.

Beautiful clear water, easy paddling, lots of wildlife

Beautiful river that has lots of otters and birds, I float down the river several times each year.

You can swim or take a walk or just stop and smell the flowers. There is a gift shop and place to eat. It costs only $2.00 to get in and you it has a great park.

I love the Rainbow River. Wonderful to spend the day. Wonderful to kayak. Seven miles of gorgeous river. If you want seclusion come during the winter months and you will be the only one on the river. This is one of Florida's unknown jewels. Tubing is popular on the weekends. The holiday weekends are crowded and a party!
