County Road 833 (CR 833) is a 53adj=midNaNadj=mid county road near the Florida Everglades. Located in Broward and Hendry counies, it connects Miccosukee Indian Reservation and the Big Cypress Indian Reservation with agricultural land south of Lake Okeechobee. It is known as Snake Road in the Miccosukee Indian Reservation, Josie Billie Highway in the Big Cypress Indian Reservation, and Sam Jones Trail in unincorporated Hendry County. CR 833 was previously designated State Road 833 (SR 833).

Route description

CR 833 begins in western Broward County at a diamond interchange with the Alligator Alley segment of Interstate 75 (I-75) in the Miccosukee Indian Reservation. On the northeast corner of the interchange is the Miccosukee Service Plaza which is the only service plaza on the entire 75miles stretch of Alligator Alley.

From the interchange and the service plaza, CR 833 heads north as Snake Road through the Miccosukee Indian Reservation. The road is named Snake Road since it snakes back and forth through the Miccosukee Reservation.[1] 6miles later, CR 833 enters the Big Cypress Indian Reservation, one of the reservations of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. From here, the road is known as Josie Billie Highway. It then continues north another 2miles before turning west and entering Hendry County while still in the reservation.

Once in Hendry County, CR 833 continues west another 7miles through the center of the reservation before turning north. It then exits the reservation
