Set in Dunnellon, Florida, this Triple Cobra sit‑on kayak rental puts you on the Rainbow River for a focused five‑hour outing.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
KP Hole Park: a middle‑river put‑in
KP Hole Park sits in the middle of the Rainbow River, giving paddlers a true choice of route: head upstream and return to the launch to avoid shuttles, or float downstream and arrange pickup at Blue Run Park.
Up‑river: Indian Creek, Big Blue Lagoon & Bubbling Springs
One option takes you up‑river to the serene corridors of Indian Creek, through the Big Blue Lagoon and past the Bubbling Springs — an easy loop back to KP Hole Park if you want to avoid a shuttle.
Downriver to Blue Run Park with shuttle service
If you prefer to go downriver into the darker waters, you can exit at Blue Run Park; the operator offers a return shuttle to KP Hole Park for a $10 per person fee.
