Close to Portland. Tons of trails to ride on from side by sides to quads to dirt bikes. Our family goes there for our yearly anniversaries. There's multi-generation that have been going there for decades

We went to have fun with ATV's. It's a good place for that activity. You can pick gravel roads or trails that are barely passable and everything in-between. Depending on which route you take you can end up at a spot that overlooks the entire valley. Beautiful! Because there are so many trails it's easy to get lost. Best to get a map ahead of time.

Absolutely fantastic area for riding quads, side by side, 4 wheelers and bikes. Numerous trails for beginner to advanced. We are pretty much amateurs, so we stick mostly to the beginner trails but also find some of the intermediate trails to be fun and a little challenging. There are pay sites with toilets, water, and garbage cans. There are also some dispersed camp areas that are free. There are...

Quite a few day use areas as well. All in all, love this place. Highly recommended. Oh, and there is also a beginners riding area that is just a round riding spot.

Amazing!!! A great place to play and have fun. Being able to test the limits of your rig is always a good time. Pack it in and pack it out. Bring an extra trash bag and help keep the trails clean.

Good camping spots, it's all dry camping but they have toilets and there's a water pump for potable water. The off roading trails and views are fantastic.
