The Douglas trail follows an old railroad line from Rochester to Pine Island crossing numerous small roads along the way. The section of trail from Rochester to Douglas is being resurfaced and should be excellent when finished. The first main section of the trail goes to Douglas (4.5 miles) where there are toilets and other amenities. The next section is from Douglas to Pine Island and is in excellent condition. Total distance = 13 ml one way. The trail is essentially flat and straight with only one minor climb near the beginning. There are multiple road crossings - most are quiet gravel roads.

Would you bike on roads with rumble strips (e.g. CR 8)?
