Lynch - FS 209A

Trail Overview

Lynch (FS 209A) is a Forest Service route that runs through a mixed wooded section of Sam Houston National Forest before continuing out of the national forest boundary. The road surface is primarily dirt with intermittent gravel and uneven sections shaped by regular use and weather. Several clearings can be found along the route, offering opportunities for primitive dispersed camping where permitted. This road intersects the Iron Horse Loop multi-use trail twice, resulting in shared use with riders, hikers, and other trail users at multiple points. In dry conditions, most high-clearance vehicles can navigate the route without issue, though traction may vary after rain. Expect limited cell service, mixed recreational traffic near trail crossings, and no services along the route.
