| The beautiful Withlacoochee River waterfront view |
Angler's Resort has been known to generations as a
bass fishing resort, and as it celebrates its 50th birthday,
it is taking on new life. Under new ownership, many
improvements have been made to the motel, bait &
tackle shop, and the selection of rental boats.
Angler's Resort is on the banks of the Withlacoochee
River, approximately 3/4 mile from where it is joined by
the Rainbow River in Dunnellon, Florida. Dunnellon has
long referred to itself as "the bass capital of the world".
Fishermen continuously pull trophy-size, lunker bass
from the dark waters of the Withlacoochee and the clear
waters of the Rainbow Rivers.

During your visit to Angler's Resort, you'll have many opportunities for fun activities.
Besides fishing for bass, there are many other species of fish in these waters,
including several types of catfish, crappie, gar, and a variety of other pan fish.
Swimming and snorkeling are always favorites (the underwater visibility on the
Rainbow River is amazing!). Thousands of people each year float down the
Rainbow in inner tubes. Canoeing and kayaking are a popular way to get up close
and personal to the wide variety of wildlife in the area. Rainbow Springs State Park
is a few miles north of town, and often has weekend activities going on in addition to
the beauty of the headsprings of the Rainbow River.
Several river tour companies depart from Angler's Resort. Visit their websites for
more information.
Dunnellon's public boat dock is across the street. So, if you bring your own boat, you
have a convenient launching area. Canoes and kayaks can be launched from
Angler's Resort itself.
Dunnellon's Historic District is within walking distance. There are lots of shops to
explore, as well as a number of great places to eat.
When you're planning your day on the rivers, please remember a few rules that apply
to the Rainbow River, which is a protected Florida Outstanding Waterway. On the
Rainbow River only - no disposable items or alcoholic beverages are allowed. Bring
your food and drinks in non-disposable packaging, such as Tupperware-type
containers or sport bottles. Visitors are not allowed to bring plastic bags, soda cans,
chip bags, etc. on the river. You may be fined (heavily) if you do so, with an additional
fine for any alcoholic beverages you may be in possession of. These rules DO NOT
apply to the Withlacoochee River.
