FS 204A

Trail Overview

FS 204A is a short Forest Service road that cuts through a quiet interior section of Sam Houston National Forest. The surface is primarily dirt with intermittent gravel and uneven sections shaped by routine forest use. Several existing clearings along the route are suitable for primitive dispersed camping, offering low-key overnight options where permitted. This road also intersects with the 819 multi-use trail, making it a common access point for riders, hikers, and other trail users. In dry conditions, most high-clearance vehicles can navigate the route without issue, though traction may vary after rain. Expect limited cell service, shared use near the trail intersection, and no services along the road.
