Rainbow Springs State Park, the most beautiful day trip from Orlando Florida

February 21, 2018 by Karen 1 Comment

My grandparents live in Orlando, Florida, so I’ve gone countless times to the theme parks in Orlando.  Sometimes, you’re looking for something a little different. On my last trip, I took a day trip from Orlando to Rainbow Springs State Park in Dunnellon, Florida.
