Dunnellon PD to Ocala Jail

Dunnellon has its own police department (DPD) serving this small Marion County city at the confluence of the Rainbow and Withlacoochee rivers. All arrests transport to the Marion County Jail in Ocala, about 25 minutes northeast.

Rainbow Springs State Park

Rainbow Springs State Park features one of Florida's largest first-magnitude springs. The park attracts swimmers, tubers, and kayakers. Park rangers handle in-park enforcement. Rainbow River tubing generates seasonal FWC enforcement for BUI and alcohol violations.

Citrus County Border

Dunnellon straddles the Marion-Citrus county line. The Dunnellon city limits extend into both counties. An arrest on the Citrus County side of Dunnellon goes to the Citrus County Jail in Lecanto, not the Ocala jail. Always confirm the county on the arrest report.

Withlacoochee River

The Withlacoochee River joins the Rainbow River in Dunnellon. The Withlacoochee State Trail runs through the area. Both rivers generate FWC enforcement. Kayaking and canoeing outfitters launch from Dunnellon.

Marion County Clerk

The Marion County Clerk at (352) 671-5604 handles case lookups. The 5th Circuit covers five counties. Marion County has one of the busiest jail systems in the circuit due to the Ocala metropolitan area population.

Blue Run of Dunnellon

The Blue Run of the Rainbow River (also called the Rainbow Run) is a popular tubing route from Rainbow Springs to the KP Hole County Park. Summer weekends generate concentrated alcohol-related and BUI enforcement along the river. FWC presence increases significantly during peak tubing season. Dunnellon's economy benefits from river tourism, and DPD coordinates with river outfitters on safety and crowd management.
