Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area
Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, Nature reserve and dunes along Pacific coast in Dunes City, United States.
The Oregon Dunes extend for 40 miles along the Pacific coast, forming sand formations that rise up to 500 feet above sea level.
The natural area received federal protection in 1972 when Congress established a 32,186-acre recreation zone under the US Forest Service management.
The Siuslaw Native American tribes maintained deep connections with the coastal dunes region, utilizing its resources for their traditional lifestyle.
The recreation area includes designated zones for off-highway vehicles, hiking paths, camping sites, and specific areas for wildlife observation.
The sand formations represent the largest coastal dunes in North America, creating an environment where forests meet ocean beaches.
