The City of Dunnellon, Florida, and surrounding area (the "Treasure of the Nature Coast") welcomes visitors with small-town charm. Once a wild boomtown created by miners attracted to the area’s rich phosphate deposits, Dunnellon draws visitors to southwest Marion County today with a variety of water-related sports, fantastic fishing, antique shops, homespun hospitality and the history-focused “Boomtown Days” festival each April.
The Rainbow Springs State Park; crystal clear Rainbow River to canoe, kayak, or tube; a fisherman's paradise on the Withlacoochee River and Lake Rouseau; treasures to be found in local shops; horse trails, bike, or hiking enthusiasts; and great food at local restaurants; make Dunnellon the true Florida and an easy secret to discover by heading west on FL Hwy. 40 from either I-75 or I-95 to US Hwy. 41 and then south five miles.
