2Note: After traveling and breakfast, start your exploring at Rainbow River State Park! You can swim in the crystal clear water, hike along the nature trail, search for wildlife, snorkel, or rent a canoe, kayak, or tube! Y53km | 53m

3Note: Continue your active day with a bike ride along the Withlacoochee Trail. The Withalooche trail is a 46-mile paved trail—making it one of the longest paved trails in Florida. I recommend renting a bike from Inverness Bicycle and hopping on the trail just 2 blocks away.15km | 14m

3Note: Three Sisters Springs has that sparkling blue water that you see in all the pictures. You can pay between 12.50 and 20.00 (depending on the season) to explore the boardwalk. OR you can check out nearby rental shops to rent a kayak or canoe to explore the springs via water.
