State Road 17 (SR 17) is a north-south state road in the U.S. state of Florida. It is split into two sections.

Route description

outhern Segment

It runs from Sebring in Highlands County as "Lakeview Drive." It goes through downtown Sebring as "Ridgewood Drive" before continuing north-northwest of the city, entering Avon Park from the east as "Cornell Street."

At a four-way stop, it turns north, following Memorial Drive until it reaches Main Street, then it goes west through Avon Park's downtown until it intersects US 27/98.

Northern Segment

A section runs from US 27/98 in Polk County, southwest of Frostproof. It bisects that town, taking the name "Scenic Highway" as it winds through Hillcrest Heights, Babson Park and Lake Wales. It continues north under other names as it passes through Dundee and Lake Hamilton, eventually ending in Haines City at US 17/92.
