Trail Overview

Javelin Road is a narrow, rutted desert route located within Big Bend Ranch State Park. The road surface consists of uneven dirt with erosion ruts and loose sections, and dense desert vegetation lines much of the corridor. Expect tight clearances in places and potential pinstriping from overgrown brush. The route runs north–south, with the northern end connecting to Main Park Road near the Sauceda Ranger Station. Along the way, the connection to Javelin Road passes the Horsetrap Spring Trail, which is designated for non-motorized use only.
