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)

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.
