Beverly Sand Dunes
Thursday, December 12, 2024
| Other Names | Beverly, Lower Crab Creek, Grant County, Columbia River |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This small dune area offers about 300 acres of sandy trails and small bowls that are open to all OHVs. The area is a good place to bring beginners but for those looking for a larger dune area may want to check out Moses Lake, which is about one hour north-east and has around 3,000 acres of dunes to explore.
The main staging is graveled and has an information kiosk plus several pull through side spurs for camping, making it easy for trailers to get in and out. Camping and parking is free, but there are no amenities except for garbage cans and a vault toilet, so come prepared. The area also has plenty of shady picnic sites that overlook Crab Creek which borders the dune area to the south.
There is no fee charged for camping or riding but all machines must display a current Washington ORV Tab and a Discover Pass (required for street legal tow vehicles or machines).
