Welcome to Greater Gainesville!

Greater Gainesville is made up of incredible parks full of wildlife, a number of small towns and the city of Gainesville. Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is a 21,000 acre terrain where sandhill cranes, wild Spanish horses, and reintroduced American bison run free around a marsh basin. A great recreational activity involves swimming and diving in the waters and underwater caves of Ginnie Springs on the Santa Fe River. The town of Micanopy is full of interesting historical buildings and antique stores and was the setting for Michael J. Fox’s movie Doc Hollywood. The Gainesville Raceway presents drag racing and other motor sports for interested visitors. The University of Florida is also located in Gainesville, lending the city an academic air. Several golf courses in the Greater Gainesville area are available for public play, including the Quail Heights Country Club in Lake City, Florida.
