🌲 Sam Houston National Forest & Lone Star Hiking Trail

One of the best-kept secrets in East Texas is just around the corner. Sam Houston National Forest is one of the four national forests in Texas and a hiker’s dream. With lush piney woods, wildlife sightings, and rolling forested hills, it’s the perfect place to stretch your legs and soak in God's beautiful creation.

The forest is home to the famous Lone Star Hiking Trail, a 129-mile trail—the longest continuous hiking trail in Texas! It weaves through creeks, across bridges, and offers stunning views of Lake Conroe’s northwestern shores. Whether you're in the mood for a quiet nature walk or a full-day hiking adventure, this trail is a must-see.

Bring your binoculars! Bird watchers, deer spotters, and amateur photographers will find plenty of wildlife along the way.
