Find a Little Slice of Heaven on the Rainbow River

By Dalia Colon

Drop your tube in the crystal-clear waters of the Rainbow River and the first thing you'll notice is that it's an even spring-fed 72 degrees year-round. Plan your visit for the fall, when the air's a little cooler, and you'll have the river mostly to yourself — yourself, that is, and the birds, gators and other wildlife that call it home. The Rainbow is one of the largest springs in the state, offering more than enough room for you to rediscover your inner child.
