About the Area

Gainesville, FL Community Resources

Gainesville is the largest city and seat of Alachua County and serves as the cultural, educational and commercial center for the north central Florida region. Gainesville isn’t like any other place in Florida. The combination of college-town vitality and protected natural beauty makes this a one-of-a-kind place “where nature and culture meet.” Whether you hit the trails, paddle the Santa Fe River, float down the springs, take in a show, or sample local breweries and restaurants, there is plenty to do in Gainesville.

Here you can find trees draped in Spanish moss lining quaint Old South-inspired streets. A cozy quintessential Downtown exudes hospitality, comfort, and at times, certain refined ease in its shops and restaurants. State parks are a virtual playground of world-class natural attractions, sinkholes, waterways and waterfalls, shady pine forests, flora and fauna, and amazing natural North Florida sunsets. And the surrounding towns like High Springs, Alachua, Cross Creek, and Micanopy dial up the charm even further, each in their own individual way. This is the kind of town where people go to be happy. To live, work, and play all in the same place. This is what living should be.

Gainesville offers 30+ miles of biking and hiking trails while spotting wildlife like birds, bison, wild horses, or other animals in seven areas of Florida State Parks. Canoe or paddleboard the scenic rivers, or take a dive into one of many crystal clear freshwater springs. Floating down the spring-fed river at Ichetucknee Springs State Park is a can’t-miss warm-weather tradition. Afterward, spend your afternoon antiquing in Gainesville's surrounding towns, and then grab a bite downtown at some of the best local farm-to-fork dining around. Wash it all down with a beverage from one of four local breweries, and catch some theater or local music before calling it a day.
