Riding in Sam Houston National Forest
Ready to ride the National Forest? Trailer your horse to FM 2666 (16.8 miles from New Adventure), and ride amoung the pines. GPS is highly recommended as you'll be riding in unmarked areas. We recommend using the FM 2666 Trailhead on Forest Service Road 217 A (Tarkington Trailhead).
