It heads northward through the downtown of the city, making three sharp turns around the Auburndale Chamber of Commerce and proceeding into a traffic circle around Lake Stella.

Leaving Auburndale, the road runs along the northeastern shore of Lake Juliana and continues north and slightly west to intersect with Interstate 4 (I-4) at its exit 44.

From there it passes by the Fantasy of Flight, turns northwest, and ends at SR 33 in Polk City.

At the intersection of CR 559A (C. Fred Jones Boulevard), SR 559 Truck turns east, and runs along almost the entire county road until it reaches SR 559 south of exit 44 on Interstate 4.
