Things To Do

Calluna Spa at The Equestrian Hotel

Rainbow Springs State Park Tubing

A bit of a drive but a place Kyle and I visited multiple times per year throughout my 4 years at UF. The crystal clear river is home to massive alligator gar (fish) and a family of playful otters. Kayak, paddleboard, float on a tube, boat, swim, dive. Swampy's bar and restaurant is at a downstream boat launch with raft rentals, on the opposite end of the river is a spring and tubing rentals. This is one of my favorite places in Florida. Please note- tubing and state park are 2 different entrances, Swampy's is a third entrance.
