FS 208

Trail Overview

FS 208 is a Forest Service access road that runs through a quiet interior section of Sam Houston National Forest and primarily serves recreational access rather than through travel. The surface is a mix of dirt and gravel with minor surface irregularities that reflect seasonal use and weather. Several nearby clearings provide opportunities for primitive dispersed camping at existing disturbed sites where permitted. This road also offers access to parking for the 820 multi-use trailhead, making it a common starting point for riders, hikers, and other trail users. In dry conditions, most high-clearance vehicles can travel the route without issue, though traction may vary after rain. Expect limited cell service, shared use near the trailhead, and no services along the road.
