If you like riding sand dunes, I mean really like riding sand dunes, you will think you're in heaven when you ride this ATV area.
This riding area is home to the tallest sand dunes in the Oregon Dunes NRA. The area is accessed from Umpqua Beach in the #2 parking lot which is open 24 hours a day for OHV access, and Umpqua Beach #3 Day use which is open 6 am to 10 pm.
Even though this ATV trail has been marked as an ATV trail that even the newest of ATV riders could ride upon and feel comfortable, safety has to be the most important element in the sport of ATVing. First thing is to make sure you do a complete systems check on your ATV pre-ride. Give your brakes, the tires, and the whole machine the once over, once you get in the habit of doing a pre-ride inspection of your ATV, it will be become second nature and will go very fast.
Even when the ATV ride will be an easy one, make sure that you tell someone where you are going and when you will be back. Along with a cell phone, this is the best thing to do in case something happens.
Always wear the right equipment when ATVing. That would include a helmet, gloves, goggles, and boots. If you prefer not to wear a suit specifically made for ATVing, then a long sleeve shirt and long pants will do just fine for the ride but you won't be as protected.
If you ride your ATV to the top of a tall dune, you will see a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean. The beach itself is closed to OHV travel year round.
