Beverly Dunes ATV Site is located about 1 mile due east of Beverly, Washington, near the Columbia River. Currently, there is no use fee to ATV here. It is open for year-round ATV use; though in the winter do expect to see some snow once in awhile. The main rule the Beverly Dunes has is all ATVs/OHVs must have an antenna flag for their visibility.
Beverly Dunes has a nice blend of topography that will entertain an ATVer for a full day's outing; it not a huge area, but very nice to run. The Dunes are roughly 300 hundred acres in total. Their layout is 1 to 2 miles long by 1/2 mile wide. They are deceptive in their appearance. There are trails throughout the Dunes, with small bowls scattered through them. These bowls are great to jump, but be aware of the dangers of coming up and over a drop-off. To drive responsibly, an ATV family should just take a short run around the place to become familiar with the overall lay of the place.
Beverly Dunes has a succession of trails that ring the dune area, on the outside boundary overall. Here you will ride a bit of fence line, and then a river, which makes for very nice, peaceful scenery. If you want an ATV challenge, head for the center of the area to test your jumping and hill skills.
There is one special event that happens at the Dunes. The third Saturday in April has been a standing date for the Desert 100 Motorcycle Race. You can watch this from the vantage points of several bridges near the Dunes. You can always take your ATVs and spend the rest of the weekend chasing up and down the dunes.
