Trail Overview

This is a dirt road that is only open to motor vehicle traffic from the 16th of March to the 14th of September. This trail offers access to some of the only remote backcountry campsites on the shores of Lake Conroe, about 5 or 6 spots. This trail offers some of the best views of the lake and some nice swimming holes you can have all to yourself. You will also see an old grave site from the early 1900s.

Returned today to scout trash. I picked up a full yard trash bag plus some plastic inner fender wells down by the creek. Ya know…if just one out of every 25 guys who run this trail would pick up some stuff that they spot along the road…that would be cool. And if one in a thousand would venture further in the bushes to do a deep dig…well, that would be awesome. Hey…take your kid and give him a task to complete.

The trail was clear and open up until a locked gate about 1.5 miles from the trail end. The gate appears to have been locked for quite a while and there is a bypass around the gate that appears to be frequently used. A fair amount of trash has accumulated in the turnaround area. I should have collected it but didn't. I will make a point to go back in the next few days with a trash bag and clear it out. Other than that it is beautiful and quiet 👍
