This ride travels around Rend Lake through recreation areas and rural farmland that provides excellent scenery. The ride follows mostly paved trails and quiet rural roads. Part of the ride travels over the road that cuts right in the middle of the lake providing water views on both sides. The ride has minimal elevation change and is easy to follow making it a nice ride for bikers of all skill levels. There is also the option of adding some mileage by taking a side trip on the north side of the lake up to Wayne Fitzgerell State Park. There are multiple parking areas and access points for the trails close to the lake so shorter trips and just exploring the area right around the lake is an option for shorter rides.
