The road rolls and jogs through farmland and countryside for almost 25 miles. May. Ichetucknee Springs is 30 miles from the ride start and makes a wonderful stop for a picnic and swim. If you are a strong rider, you may even have time to float the spring run by raft or tube. Shuttles are available to return you upstream. The southern entrance has an excellent tube run with a return boardwalk.
Tubes are available for rent outside the park.
O'Leno State Park is about 15 miles from Ichetucknee. The route travels easterly over county roads for most of the distance with two jogs necessary on busier highways. At O'Leno the Santa Fe River disappears underground for 3 miles to resurface again at River Rise State Preserve. Swimming areas and hiking trails highlight the area. The day's ride is on quiet rural byways.
