OHV (Off-Highway Vehicles)
The Siuslaw National Forest is home to two popular Off- Highway Vehicle Riding areas: Sand Lake Recreation Area and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Where can I ride?About half of the area that comprises the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and all of the Sand Lake Recreation Area are open to motorized vehicles. However, it is just as important to know where you can't ride . Please refer to the MAPS in each section for riding area information.
Here are the Rules!OHVs are a great way to combine America’s love of motor vehicles with the love of the outdoors. To make your time in the outdoors safe as well as entertaining, you need to know the laws governing OHV use on public land. The cornerstone of any outdoor recreation activity is respect: respect for yourself; respect for others and respect for the environment. MORE

Remember! Camping sites fill up fast along the Oregon Coast on holiday weekends. |
Many off highway vehicle riders enjoy the less structured atmosphere of camping out in the dunes. Sand camping is allowed at both Sand Lake Recreation Area and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, but the two areas have different rules and permit and reservation programs.
