Winter Haven: Worth the trip. Grove Roots Brewing Co. is a fiercely local craft brewery and taproom located in downtown Winter Haven, Florida. Our mission? To create inventive, artisanal beers inspired by the traditions and tastes of Central Florida’s citrus past. Through partnerships with major producers and mom-and-pop growers alike, we’re reclaiming the land and getting back to our roots. But let’s make one thing clear: we’re not just paying homage to an industry that once was. We’re here to celebrate what still is, savoring our citrus heritage with every sip.

Like many mountain bike trails in this area of Florida, Loyce E. Harpe Park (formerly Carter Rd Park) is a former phosphate mining operation. The trail meanders through the woods around man-made ponds (borrow pits). The main trail is relatively flat and only has the occasional root to throw at you. Description For the more serious rider, there are several fingers off of the main trail that clamber over piles of rock and dirt left from the former mining operation. These fingers are much more challenging, and the local MTB club is adding berms and other obstacles. Some of the downsides, as of this writing, are poor signage in areas, making it easy for neophyte riders to suddenly find themselves in an area they may not be ready for. This is also a one-way trail, something not obvious from the (otherwise quite good) trail maps and other materials on site.
