It is said Rainbow Springs produces 400 million gallons of water daily. Its water comes from a 700 square mile watershed. The water here today was 72 degrees. It is perfectly clear to the eye at the source. As the water makes its way to Tampa, it gets less clear and finally murky, stained with tannin.
Before Disney World, Florida had several home grown water based attractions. Rainbow Springs was one. They hired mermaids to swim in the clear water next to a sort of submarine boat which visitors viewed below water level scenes. There was a rodeo, above ground; a zoo, herb garden and waterfalls. Could there be waterfalls here.
Yes, waterfalls are located throughout the park. They just aren't naturally occurring ones. Rubble left over from phosphate mining, was used to create the falls along with fresh spring water pumped up to the top of each. Once Disney World opened, Rainbow Springs attraction folded and it became a state park.
This guy paid no heed to the "NO FISHING" notice.
