You should not let the name Sunflower fool you, the Sunflower OHV area is
the perfect place to go to ride and relax amongst the best views Oregon has
to offer. Here, there are over 37,000 amazing acres of land that are open to
riders of Class I, II and III ATVs.
This is a beautiful place to go and ride if you are one who likes to enjoy
beautiful scenery. At the top of Ant Hill, you can look over the trees from an
old fire lookout. There are no formal routes designated for ATVing, and you
need to be cautious of where you are riding at all times. Some of the land is
private property with no visible boundaries. Also, during the winter season
only snowmobiles are allowed access. The Sunflower OHV area is open
during the spring, summer and fall.
For those adventurous riders who also enjoy a little bit of camping in the
great outdoors there is also local camping available. The Fairview
campground offers a few campsites for weary riders with the added
convenience of drinking water.
There are no fees that apply for riders in the Sunflower OHV area, and the
spot is also very easy to get to.
Directions:
Follow State Highway 19 East through the town of Spray to State Highway
207. Then turn and start heading north until you reach USFS Road 23. Then
follow 23 East until you hit the riding area. It is impossible to miss.
If you are into ATVing, this is a great place to go for a great time. There is a
lot to see and a good time can be had by all, especially if the weather is nice.
