If you go to Mose lake, it just plain flat, a few small hill climb like 30 feets and that it.
You can cover the area less then 2 hours before going over twice. It very dusty area too. It is a good place to go there.

Also don't use paddle tire at Moselake because you will ruin it. It mostly all dirt rock terrian. Little sand there..... Use knobby tire there. Trust me because I have been there before.

Just 5 hours driving go to Sandlake of Oregon which is the close to you. Or just make a 4 day weekend go to Florence or Spinreel or Horesefall and get alot more riding area then small pity area of Moselake.


Have fun....

Mose lake is almost kinda flat but there is some drop off like 30 feet or so. You have be careful in that area, some of the drop off can be sneaky on you if you are not paying attention.

I believe Beverly place is more sanding then Moselake. About overnite ? Here the place to look at.

That tell you about Beverly place. It not very big at all.

hope this will help you....
