This document contains maps detailing the South OHV Riding Area (Horsfall - Spinreel) and the North OHV Riding Area (Siltcoos to South Jetty) within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. These maps are intended to provide visual guidance on designated routes, open riding areas, restricted zones, and closed areas for Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs).

• Legend: Explains the various symbols and color-coding used on the maps, including:
  • Fee Stations, Information & Sand Camping Registration
  • Sand Camp Sites (Individual and Group)
  • Campgrounds
  • Designated Routes (OHV trails)
  • Areas restricted to designated routes
  • Open OHV riding areas
  • Areas closed to motorized use (including critical habitat for Snowy Plover and seasonal restrictions)
  • Noise Buffers
  • Other ownership boundaries
• Map Areas: Two distinct maps are provided, covering the southern and northern sections of the OHV riding areas.
• Specific Features: Highlights include beach access points, staging areas, campgrounds, and specific named OHV trails (e.g., Bull Run OHV Trail, Horsfall Beach Road, South Jetty OHV Trail).
• Disclaimers: Notes that the product is reproduced from information prepared by the USDA Forest Service and other suppliers, and that accuracy may vary. It also provides contact information for the Siuslaw National Forest Supervisors Office.

These maps are crucial for any bidder seeking to understand the physical layout and operational constraints of the OHV riding areas within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.
