This area (open year-round) mainly consists of medium sized dunes with some fun sand bowls. The main access roads are largely un-maintained and these roads can also be very muddy in the spring so 4WD is recommended. Nearby Fossil Lake (a 6500 acre dry lake) is off-limits to OHV use but has prehistoric post-ice age fossils such as camels and mammoths. Please note there is private land surrounding the dunes and the Lost Forest. Respect land owners by not cutting any trees for firewood, carry out what you bring in and respect your fellow users. The right to use private property is a privilege and will remain open as long as people respect it.
