Oregon Dunes National Recreational Area

Wind-sculpted sand dunes towering 500 feet above sea level extend for 40 miles along the Oregon Coast, at the Oregon Dunes National Recreational Area. Visitors can feel the thrill of riding across these expansive tracks of sand in three designated off-highway riding areas, enjoy water sports in the over 30 lakes and ponds in the region, or hike the numerous trails through the coastal forests extending nearly to the ocean.

The dunes also foster a diverse ecosystem of life with a multitude of animals ranging from seabirds, sea lions and gray whales offshore, to bald eagles, osprey and Roosevelt elks inland. Another secret of the dunes is that they have some of the best wild mushrooms in the world including huge quantities of chanterelles, boletes, matsutake and lobster mushrooms. Visitors are allowed to pick up to a gallon of mushrooms a day without a permit.
