The Piney Creek Horse Trail is a system of horse trails that meanders approximately 54 miles through the East Texas pineywoods of the Davy Crockett National Forest. All users should show good trail manners, so that private property owners will continue to allow horse passage across their land. In general, the route is well cleared and marked. Trailhead parking areas have been constructed at the main access points, and all road crossings are well signed.
Triangular markers indicate the route.
Usually, beginning in May, the heat, ticks, mosquitoes, and the redbugs combine to make horseback riding and camping on the trail somewhat of an ordeal. The best season for using the Piney Creek Horse Trail is either fall or spring. Insects are a bit of a problem in the spring and fall too, so you will want to bring along some repellent. Camping is permitted anywhere along the trail, and or at one of the 2 horse camps. There are no trash, or running water facilities.
