  Wow, first time in this trail after 24 years living in Polk County. There is plenty parking, break or rest areas, outstanding site seeing, good asphalt with minor little holes. Overall a place to mothers to walk the little ones on a stroller or bicycle . Outstanding job for the maintenance men or women.

  I was afraid the trail would be monotonous & boring because it is miles of perfectly straight, flat asphalt. But the varied scenery made it a fun bike ride. Saw pine forest, swamps, creeks, cattle grazing, alpacas, 14 gopher turtles, and 1 snake. There are benches and occasional decks to stop and view nature.
