THE HEART OF FLORIDA
EVERY PATH STARTS WITH PASSION
Gainesville lies within easy driving distance of some of the greatest recreational,
cultural and natural beauty in the world. With a population of
about 110,000 (and 250,000 in the county), Gainesville is a busy college
town with lots to do on campus and off. Nearly 65 percent of the county
is dotted with scenic lakes, wetlands and trails, which give students
numerous opportunities for cycling, canoeing, hiking, golf, camping,
bird-watching and fishing. Gainesville residents also can enjoy: festivals
and performing arts programs; national-caliber theaters; museums and
performing arts; the largest collection of crystal-clear springs in the
world; sandy beaches just two hours away on either coast; nearby cities
such as Tampa-St. Petersburg, Orlando, Jacksonville and Tallahassee;
and dazzling winter weather with plentiful sun and daytime lows rarely
dipping below 50 degrees.
