Trail to the Sulphur River

Trail Overview

This gravel road starts at the Highway 67 and Highway 8 intersection. It is just past the Highway 8 turn if you're coming from Maud, Texas. You will cross the railroad tracks and follow the maintained gravel road to the Sulphur River. There is a boat launch (dirt ramp) at the end of this road. Along the way, you will pass a few picnic areas with concrete tables and a fire ring. You can primitive camp in these areas, which are towards the Sulphur River end of the road. The road is gravel and a two-wheel drive can make it when dry. During rain, in some spots the road can become muddy and flooded. Be aware of snakes and other creatures. Mosquitoes can be terrible here, so be prepared if you're going to hang out in the camping areas. There is hunting in this area.
