Join FSI and RRC as we give you a fresh perspective on one of the most beautiful and serene stretches of water that Central Florida has to offer. We will be paddling a 3-mile stretch of Rainbow River and discuss the natural beauty of the waterway, the challenges facing the river, and what you and your community can do to help preserve this Outstanding Florida Waterway. We can’t wait to see you there!
