These 43.81 acres are part <strong>of</strong> a larger project known as Chain <strong>of</strong> Lakes Trail. The Chain <strong>of</strong> Lakes<br />

Trail is a 12-foot wide, 3.2-mile paved trail in the City <strong>of</strong> Winter Haven. Staff provides consistent<br />

routine landscape maintenance to the trail, including landscape maintenance on the trail every two<br />

weeks and trash/debris removal three times a week.<br />

The City <strong>of</strong> Winter Haven will begin construction on a $1.7 million Trailhead by October 1,<br />

2010. Construction is estimated to last 270 days. Construction <strong>of</strong> a bridge over Ave T, NW<br />

is projected to start in FY 2012/13. The bridge will be constructed on two parcels owned by<br />

the State and under the management agreement for the Chain <strong>of</strong> Lakes Trail. The Third<br />

A small portion <strong>of</strong> the corridor, approximately ¼-mile, is in the city limits <strong>of</strong> Lake Alfred.<br />

trail corridor.
