Sam Houston National Forest ATV Trails

The Sam Houston National Forest is located about 50 miles north of Houston, Texas. This is a large forest which covers over 160,000 acres of land.

There is great ATV riding weather nearly all year around in this area, the winters are mild and usually in the 50 degree range, and although the summers are hot, they are usually fairly dry. Since these ATV trails stay mostly dry, they aren't eroded and are very dense and natural to drive your ATV through. Only during deer hunting season are you and your ATV restricted to only certain areas for obvious safety reasons.

Within Sam Houston National Park, the Cagle Recreation Area located along the shores of Lake Conroe, has opened up 85 miles of ATV trails. You will sharing these with hikers, bikers, and horseback riders, so be on the alert when you're riding your ATV of the other types of traffic you will encounter.

ATV trails are called Multi-use trails in this Park and they are clearly marked. Never go trailblazing and make new trails, these trails are carefully made and closed in a specific manner to insure new growth heals the old trails while you are exploring new trails to insure Sam Houston National Park will have nice, densely foliaged trails for generations to come.
