IMO. a nicer place to start would be in Lake Placid, FL. ("Town of Murals)
Go North on US-27 for a short distance and then pick up County Rd-17 (right turn). Follow CR-17 to Left on US-98 to Right on CR-17 to Left on CR- 623 (Airport Rd) and follow into Sebring. FL (you will still be on CR-17 (Kenilworth Blvd). Continue West and turn Right on Lakeview Drive (ST-17) then bear right onto Ridgewood Rd (ST-17) Continue until nearing Avon Park then take a Right on CR-17. Take a Right on CR-627. Continue to Right turn on Wilson Rd. This will take you around scenic Lake Reedy.
At the end of Reedy Lake Drive take a Left on RT-630 into Frostproof, picking up ST-17 into Lake Wales. You might like to take a look there, at "Spook Hill".
Personally, I would pick the Town of Dundee to turn around for the return trip to Lake Placid. Riders coming from the Orlando-Kissimmee area might want to try this ride from the Northern end.
