Nice boardwalk & springs. Wasn't aware before today it's part of the gated Villages community (it is technically in Wildwood, or close enough I mean...). Don't be too bummed out if you aren't allowed in. I was probably lucky. Not a must-see, Rainbow Springs/ Rainbow river is Much More nice, crystal clear, & pristine. But if you're like me & far and away hopelessly hooked to the Lake Panosofkee/ Withlacoochee river basin region... all I can recommend is Knowing someone who lives in the Villages is likely the easiest way

Spent a splendid afternoon on the nature trail with my girlfriend, with camera in tow. Despite the mid-day high-contrast lighting the wildlife was active and I managed to capture a few keepers.

Short walk around a spring. Enjoy the view. Bring a lunch and pick one of the many picnic tables under the shade of the oaks.
