To Get There: Christmas Valley
Follow State Highway 31 south from Bend about 60 miles and turn east on County Road 5-10 toward Fort Rock / Christmas Valley. After about 20 miles turn left (east) on 5-14 to the community of Christmas Valley. Continue east past Christmas Valley approximately 10 miles, then turn left (north) on 5-14D and go 8 miles to a "T". Turn right on 5-14E, and follow it until you see signs for the Sand Dunes.
Site Description: Christmas Valley contains 11,000 acres of sand dunes available to ATV use. The area "open" to vehicles is surrounded by several sensitive areas with more restrictive vehicle designations. The Fossil Lake area is closed to vehicles (and is fenced off), and in the Lost Forest vehicles are restricted to roads which are posted open. Although the bare dunes are open to vehicles, since they are within a Wilderness Study Area, vehicles are required to stay on trails that are posted open until they reach the bare dunes.
Trail Uses & Sizes: Approximately 11,000 acres of dunes are open to Class I, II and III ATVs
Season: Year round, but can be inaccessible during the winter and spring months due to extremely muddy roads.
Fees: None
On-Site Facilities: No facilities, except for portable toilets on Memorial Day weekend. If you plan on camping, bring your own firewood: gathering of any wood within the Lost Forest/Sand Dunes area is prohibited.
