Cycling

Often called the “Cycling Capital of Florida” Polk County’s bike routes lead through historic downtowns, fragrant orange groves, cool forests and cozy communities.

Lakes and parks offer easy riding and restful vistas, while the hills and valleys in the southeastern park of the county provide more challenging terrain for the mountain bikers. Five trails of note are the General James Van Fleet State Trail, Fort Fraser Trail, Loyce Harpe Park Trail, TECO Auburndale Trail and The Chain of Lakes Trail.
