Road Scenery:  |
Nicely wooded farm country. You’ll travel through heavy woods with rolling farmland along the way. This is a nice back area of Texas rarely seen except by locals. If you are looking for a less traveled, more scenic way to go from Palestine to Henderson (or points in between), this is a great ride. Hwy. 225 to Henderson, is probably the prettiest part of the route, but they all beat the dickens out of the standard highways: 79 and 84 .

Road Quality:  |
|
Overall, roads are good, a few spots with rough topping, but nothing of any concern. Since they are back farm to market roads, they are not as well maintained as the state highways. |
