Route description
PR 33 begins south of the unincorporated community of Caddo in Stephens County, at a junction with US 180 and FM 717.[2] The route travels to the north through Caddo before turning eastward after its intersection with FM 3253. The highway turns to the northeast before entering Palo Pinto County and Possum Kingdom State Park. Within the park, the route curves to the north and then to the northwest; a spur route, signed as PR 33A, branches off to the northeast and provides access to boat launching and camping areas.[1][3] The PR 33 designation ends within the park, near the Park Store and Marina.
