[DaSandBomb]

Which part of the dunes in oregon do you like to ride at (Florence, Winchester Bay, Spin rail, Horse falls, or Sand Lake)?

For a weekend ride: Spinreel or Horsfall

For a day trip: Winchester

Just to mess around and check mods: Sand Lake (the other two places are worth the longer drive)

[DaSandBomb]

bing- you need to try winchester it is worth the extra 10 min. of driving

How do I drive to Coos Bay dunes from Portland(I-5). How long does it take?

[DaSandBomb]

take i-5 all the way down to hwy 38 just out of cottage grove, that would be the easyest way for you. heres a map

i usually go to florence but i wanna try out coos bay, i heard they have bigger hills!?? what camp site is the bomb to stay at and can you sand camp there? i take it you can sand camp but do you need a permit?? florence looks pretty booked for labor day weekend

Thanks for the directions, drove right to horsfalls. That is an awsome dune, I love it there. Next time it wont be an over niter.

bighonda- i know that you can camp at horse falls campground, or drive all the way down to the beach parking lot and camp there.

I like all the Oregon dune areas. I love the razorback at Florence for a little jumping action, but I tend to go to Sand Lake the most since it is the closest to Portland and we can ride all night!

Since so many people do weekend and day runs to Sand Lake, that was my reason for creating a forum especially for Sand Lake since it is an area that many/most of us share. My goal in creating the forum was to bridge the gap of people and groups going down to the dunes and not knowing anyone else down there....so far it is working very well and it has been lots of fun.
