Rainbow Springs State Park

The history of Rainbow Springs dates back centuries to a time when native peoples regularly visited this beautiful spring. Although the common era has seen the land shaped by both enterprising developers and the loving hands of local volunteers, the draw of the beautifully serene park endures. When someone takes their first dip in the crystal waters of Rainbow Springs, they become one with a story that stretches back over 10 milleniums, when humans first visited this place.

Ornamental gardens, human-made waterfalls and sloping hills are visible reminders of the springs’ more recent past, when the land was home to a mining operation and a privately-owned tourist attraction. Take a walk through lush, mossy hammocks and then cool off in the springs—it’s a time-honored tradition.
