Last Known StatusOpen

Open year-round, this large area offers dunes and several trails that wind through sagebrush and juniper trees.

Primitive camping is permitted and there are no services but there are plans to add vault toilets and possibly a dumpster. There is a possibility that a staging area with a sand and gravel road may be added to the Smith Canyon area.
