Oregon Dunes
South Jetty/Goose Pasture
Located less than a mile from Florence, this popular riding area can be accessed from South Jetty Road on the northern end, and Siltcoos Beach Access Road from the south end.
The area is best known for South Jetty Hill, fondly called “Show-Off Hill” by OHV enthusiasts. The OHV rider will find large sand dunes and five tree islands (closed to OHV access) within the riding area boundaries. A Noise Buffer Closure is in place on the eastern boundary. The beach adjacent to riding areas is open to OHV access. The area has a 10 p.m. curfew. Forest Service Campgrounds with sand access in this area are Driftwood II. Other Campgrounds available in this area are Oddfellows, Sand Dunes Frontier, and Woahink Lake Resort. Honeyman State Park Campground has seasonal sand access from November-April.
Winchester Bay/Umpqua Dunes
Located south of Winchester Bay, this riding area is home to the tallest sand dunes in the Oregon Dunes NRA. The area is accessed from Umpqua Beach #2 Parking lot (offering 24 hour OHV access), and Umpqua Beach #3 Day use (open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.). A ride to the top of a tall dune offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. The beach is closed to OHV travel year round. Other Campgrounds available in this area are Discovery Point, Salmon Harbor Resort, and Windy Cove.
Spinreel/Horsefall
The largest riding area at the Oregon Dunes stretches between Spinreel Campground and Horsfall Road. A few miles north of North Bend/Coos Bay, this road leads to Horsfall dunes and a beach access. Another access is Hauser Sand Rd, which links the Horsfall dunes to the beach.
If you are looking for adventure, you can find it amongst the designated sand roads, dunes and forests in this riding area. Year round beach access is and added bonus to those who enjoy a ride along the shore. This area has a midnight curfew. Forest Service Campgrounds with sand access in this area are Spinreel, Horsfall and Horsfall Beach. An overflow camping area is opened at Hauser during Memorial, 4th of July and Labor Day weekends. In addition, the private Oregon Dunes KOA campground near Hauser provides sand access for OHVs.
