During top of covid in August I did this river and a few others on paddle board. Hardly anyone was there. It was amazing. I did see an alligator my first time in (size of my leg). It swam in front of us. It was a conquer a major fear time ! It was incredible to see so many people in the water. (Not as many as usual..but) We went here everyday for 10days. I couldn't get enough. The swimming area was so great, because the resort park part was closed for covid. We snorkeled for hours. And left every nite as the sunset and leisurely floated back down the river. Best vacation ever ! I loved reliving it through your video. Thanks !

The park used to have a tram ride that was shaped like gigantic leaves and they had a huge cage and doors would open and there we’re beautiful birds in the cage and then you rode through it. It was a nice scenic slow ride. They had a glass bottom boat ride also. It used to be a school field trip. I loved it. The ride was awesome because it wasn’t super high but high enough to see so much. I don’t remember much other wildlife. Mostly the birds. I was sad when it closed because it was simple and reasonably priced. The Rainbow River is awesome. I have floated many times down the river. We used to tie our tubes together. You could take food as long as it was in containers that were NOT disposable. I watched your episode that you spent time with the famous man. I remember so many of the beautiful homes. Haven’t done that trip in years so thanks for the memories. We would do two car loads of people park one car at KP Hole and the other by the bridge where you get out. Good times. I never seen a gator ever on any of my many floating trips. Lots of fish. ❤

No monkeys on the Rainbow that I've ever seen. Silver Springs/River has monkeys though, and also served as the filming location for the original Tarzan series from the 1940s, starring Johnny Weismiller as the lead. Another river in the area, Crystal River, has a small island with monkeys, but they aren't as wild as the ones at Silver Springs. Don't get too close as I've heard they throw poop. Crystal River is a great place to view manatees as well, primarily in the summer. If you really want to encounter more gators, the Ocklawaha River is a fairly primitive river north of the Silver River. Great video, by the way.

Hi! Those are two of our favorite places to go in central Florida! They're both pretty close to each other. Here was our Silver Springs adventure in case you're interested --> kzread.info/dash/bejne/aa2Nkppvj8W_itI.html They're quite different. Rainbow is more natural with more swimming in the river, but the launch is pretty far from the parking lot! In comparison, Silver Springs doesn't allow swimming, but the launch is much closer to the parking area. Also - there's monkeys at Silver!!

@AK-hi4hm It may be a bit cool in January for swimming. The water will be the same steady cool temperature, but the issue is when you get out of the water. 😅 Silver Springs would be a great idea in the cooler weather. It's so nice to be out in nature! You would likely see manatees as well! ❤️

PS adventures I can't believe you started the video with such a faux pas. Weren't you instructed by TLC in the 90s not to go chasing waterfalls, and that's the first thing you did on the trip

😂 Yup. That's exactly what we did. We should know better! Thanks for the laugh!

I don't come to the Rainbow River anymore I used to come here when I was young 40/50 years ago when it was still pretty . Now it's so crowded and now the people will pay millions of dollars for property and this is what it's going to be it's very sad Northerners bring to Florida

It's definitely a lot busier when we visit Rainbow Springs. The nice thing is if you avoid the weekends and go on the weekdays it's a lot less busy. Same for if you go either early or late in the day and you almost have the whole place to yourself. It's still very beautiful and waiting for you! 😊

Gators?

Yes! There are definitely gators here but they pretty much leave you alone. We saw one when we were floating on our tubes but it was just sun bathing. Always so cool to see them! 🐊

There were a lot of people swimming especially the ones living around there. In Florida at springs, it's basically swim at your own risk since gators are everywhere. They mostly leave you alone though.

Hmm.. Well I have swimed many times in the rainbow river but this was in the 1990's. You're saying alligators are appearing in the fresh water locations? Alligators will appear in the more brackish water locations normally. I've literally floated down the Rainbow River to the mouth at least a dozen times. We did have a run in with a small snapping turtle, however. I hear they now charge entry where you used to be able to just wander the grounds of the old tourist attraction. I remember a "See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil" statue and the old Aviary. Anyways, came here from your fermenting channel. Respect you want to change things up. I'm doing my first Ginger Brew today. Seeing some activity!

Thanks so much for sharing James! Yeah they're charging for entry in the old park since it's now a state park. It must've looked a lot different back in the 90's. That's awesome that you came over from our fermenting channel! We actually just filmed a new episode the other week so we'll get it posted very soon. Sounds like you're on the right track with your ginger ale. We hope you enjoy and so happy you found us! 🍺

Don’t alligators move fast? Could you really get back on your kayak before getting eaten?

@PSAdventures

Yep, they can move fast for sure! It's kind of like hiking with possibility of bears. We stay cautious and respectful of the alligators in the wild. 😊

Missouri is the worst place in America for ticks during warm weather. They freak me out too. I’m constantly looking myself over and my wife too. Of course I love checking her out, even though she doesn’t understand my pleasure looking her over. I don’t understand why women think we me think like them that they’re not beautiful. I never tire looking at her.
