Type of Riding Place: Trail
Location (closest city): N/A
Details: Chadwick Motorcycle and ATV Use Area United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Mark Twain National Forest Near 100 miles of mountain bike, ATV, or motorcycle trail, winding in and out of deep forested hollows and down long ridge tops....That's Chadwick Motorcycle Area! Situated about four miles southeast of Chadwick, Missouri, from which it gets its name, the Chadwick Area contains a 12-square mile chunk of rough Ozark Country. Developed camp facilities are close at hand for riders or other visitors. THE AREA Chadwick Area is mostly forested oak, hickory, and pine woods on the rocky ridge tops, which also have a few small open forest glades. The steep ridges that break into the narrow hollows have scattered surface rock with occasional rock ledges and some patches of eastern red cedar. TRAIL RIDING Most trails parallel ridge tops or hollow bottoms with connecting trails crossing side slopes. There are some trail sections with greater challenge to them than others. All authorized trails are marked with orange diamond-shaped tags, and also identify with trail number marker post at beginning points and intersections. You will notice on your visit to Chadwick that trails are closed for rehabilitation, in many cases piled cut brush blocks the trail way. Please do not attempt to travel these routes. Over the years a number of new trail sections are added to the system. None of these trails dead ends, so it is possible to plan a variety of different full-loop trips without backtracking on the same trails. Stay on the trail and do not take short cuts. SPECIAL AREAS There are two locations at Chadwick Motorcycle Use Area where it is allowed off-trail travel. One of these is the family play area, about two acres in size and just to the West of the Cobb Ridge Campground. The other is the five acre trail bike area, located between trails 110 and 135, near the end of camp ridge. These area's are marked on available maps. Area boundaries are marked with orange colored rectangular tags placed on trees. CAMPING There are two convenient developed campgrounds at Chadwick. They are the Camp Ridge & Cobb Ridge Campgrounds. Areas provided on first come first served basis. There are singe, double, and triple computing available. Larger party’s can occupy the multiple accommodation sites. There is no regular garbage pick up in the area. We need your help to keep the area clean by taking all of the refuse home. Toilets are available at each campground, but there is no water available at either campground. Users should bring enough water to cover there needs for the expected use period. The picnic ground at Camp Ridge is strictly a day use area with no overnight camping allowed. Lots of private Full Service campgrounds in the area (call Chamber of Commerce in Kimberling City). USE REGULATIONS When using the Chadwick Area facilities you must obey the following restrictions: Use only designated areas (trails marked with diamond-shaped orange markers and areas marked with rectangular-shaped orange markers). Limit motorcycle and ATV use at developed campgrounds to that necessary for entering or leaving the developed site area. Confine recreational riding and test driving to the designated use areas. Motorized vehicles allowed on trails and in special use areas must be under 45 inches in width. Vehicles operated off-highway on trails or in use areas must have appropriate mufflers and approved spark arresters maintained in effective working order. Such devices must meet Forest Service Standards. All operators must have valid license as required by state law when operating vehicles on state or county roads. All equipment must have operable braking system. Vehicles not equipped with both operable headlights and taillights, can only be operated during the time period of 1-1/2 hour before sunrise to 1-1/2 hour after sunset. All equipment must used must comply with applicable noise emission standards established by Federal or state agencies. Drivers must not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Date Submitted: 10/22/1998 ---------------------------------------  Location Name: Sand Mountain
Type of Riding Place: Dunes
Location (closest city): Fallon
Details: One huge sand dune ridge with smaller dunes and desert surrounding it. The dune itself is massive and has various ridges, bowls, valleys and the like. The area around it is smaller dunes turning into desert trails the farther away from the dune you get. After Pismo, Oregon Dunes, and Glamis, its hard to imagine just one big dune being any fun. But this you just can't describe and have to experience to believe. I live midway between Pismo and Sand Mountain, and Its always a coin flip to decide which one. Sand Mountain is never crowded, even on the big holday weekends. Area is open to all regestered off road vehicles, equipped with the usual whip and flag. No fee, un-improved camping is permitted but there is no water or facilities of any kind (except for the vault toilet). The nearest gas/store/food/motel is in Fallon, 30 miles away. Be prepared!
How to get there: From Reno, take Interstate 80 east to Fallon. Take Hwy 50 south out of Fallon approx. 30 miles. You can't miss it.
