Recreational Road 8 (RE 8) is a Recreational Road located in McMullen County in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Texas. The highway is approximately 1.1 miles (1.8 km) in length, and connects Texas State Highway 72 (SH 72) to the community of Calliham and Choke Canyon State Park. The roadway travels through rural areas and central Calliham. Calliham was first laid out in 1922, and a road first appeared in the location of RE 8 by 1940. Farm to Market Road 99 (FM 99) was designated in the location of RE 8 in 1954. Recreational Road 8 was officially designated in June 1981, after FM 99 was relocated. The highway was cancelled and relocated in 1983. The highway is currently the only route to deviate from the recreational road criteria.
