K.P. Hole County Park

K.P. Hole County Park can be accessed from SW 190 Avenue Road in Dunnellon, Florida and is approximately one hour's drive from Gainesville. The park is situated by the banks of Rainbow River and offers many recreational opportunities as well as an array of fauna. The park is open all year round from 8am to 8pm between May and September and from 8am to 5pm for the rest of the year.

The Rainbow River is crystal clear making it ideal for swimming and diving. With no wind or waves it is possible to see to the bottom of even the deepest hole, which is Devil's Elbow at 23 feet. Other watersports can be carried out here too such as canoeing, kayaking and tubing. The river is also home to various freshwater fish, turtles, and otters and occasionally visitors might spot an alligator.

Birdwatchers are also attracted to the park with many species to be seen here including heron, ibis, anhinga and cormorants. The park has picnic tables and benches as well as bathroom facilities with lockers for visitors to change and store their valuables. There are several eateries within close proximity of the park such as Lombardo's Restaurant on South US Highway 41.
