Pleasant Ride
By buddy13 in February, 2012
Nearly perfectly flat with varied scenery through soccer fields, baseball fields and playgrounds. Street crossings are few and not very busy. Middle of the trail passes through some pasture land with cattle visible. Goes under Interstate 4 and proceeds into Polk City and then joins with the General Van Fleet trail.

Restrooms and water at the Auburndale trailhead. We did not utilize them so "no comment" on them.

We continued on the General Van Fleet trail for a bit to make it a bit longer ride of about 20 miles.
