FS 239

Trail Overview

FS 239 is a Forest Service road that travels through an actively managed section of Sam Houston National Forest. The surface is primarily dirt with intermittent gravel and uneven sections influenced by regular use and weather. One small clearing is located along the route, offering a limited option for primitive dispersed camping where permitted. This road runs through an area with ongoing commercial forest operations, and drivers should expect occasional heavy equipment, logging traffic, and changing road conditions. In dry conditions, most high-clearance vehicles can navigate the route without issue, though caution is advised around active work zones. Expect limited cell service and no services along the road.
