Their ATV's were clean and functional and they drove them to the beach for us which was a huge plus! When they went over the waivers and what our day would include they were detail oriented and thorough to make sure we would stay safe and prepared for any terrain! They were quick and efficient with our check in to get us out on the dunes as quick as possible. I also mentioned that I was a returning customer and It was my birthday and the gentleman helping us told us he could offer us an extra hour on our ride! We knew they were nice reliable people when we started getting low on gas a little over 2 hours in and they met us to refuel and continue our adventure! It even rained the last hour of our 3 hour ride and we still had the best time ever. We will be returning to this business for the kind employees and great adventure of ATV riding.

Nope. Find another place in the area. The worst thing about this place is the customer service. We…read morereceived an email the day before with a door code that didn't exist. We emailed. No response. We called. Their phone number does not work. We were counting on checking in at the office, as had been described. It's CLOSED. We spent a half hour certain that we had been scammed, until we awkwardly had to knock on doors of other, non-affiliated neighbors, found one who mentioned they might be in one of the cabins... Had to knock on some more doors, when we found them they knocked right back (weird) and then acted very annoyed that we needed so much as a door code. Half hour past checkin. i do not recommend this place at all, while the lakefront is pretty the rest of it is absolutely not. Broken doors, poor decor, which I would have been fine with, but it was very overpriced for what you get especially after a very stressful and unpleasant beginning to our stay. Be careful if you stay here, you'll get an email saying "Your door code is ." You need to figure out a way to get in touch before your journey - if you do decide to go, know that their phones don't work and they don't respond to emails; for now I guess they are staying in cabin 9. Also note that their docks are decrepit and dangerous. This is no "RESORT." Bring your own toilet paper too. We were provided with less than half a roll for a couple of days but the experience with the hosts was so unpleasant that instead of asking, we preferred to just go out and buy our own.

The place had been pretty neglected for many years before the new owners bought the place. I get that it takes a lot of money to rehab a gem like this place was when owners took pride in it. The new owners are doing a lot of work on the cabins as I saw when me and my two friends arrived. I think this place will be really nice when the construction is done. The boat we rented was pretty rough looking. An aluminum hull boat which can seat 4 adults. Old outboard motor that ran like a champ all day but nothing beats having a steering wheel, push button or turn key to start/kill the motor. We couldn't pull the string on the motor to start (we're not as young as we used to be) which meant we had to keep the motor running all afternoon. We will definitely return in the hopes that with more business their boat rental situation will also improve. We had a great time motoring around what is a very nice large lake. The weather was spectacular with not too high winds and lots of sunshine. Brandon (husband/owner) is a really nice guy and appreciated that he came out after a few hours to check on us to make sure we weren't stuck somewhere. He's a born & raised Oregonian and knows a lot about the environment and loves sharing what he knows with others.

Park, head inside to buy your tickets, then write your name on the board outside near the waiting area. The guys will pull up in the buggy's, you'll climb on in, and away you go! 45/60 mins of twists, turns, and flying through the sand dunes along the beach. It doesn't get any better than this! Taking pictures is close to impossible, and you'll want to live in the moment. Wear clothes and shoes that you're comfy in. On rainy days, make sure you wear something that you don't mind getting slightly dirty. Did I mention how fun this is?? If YKYK. If you don't, this should be a must try. Just do it!

Darlingtonia is the only Oregon State Park dedicated to protecting one single species: the Darlingtonia. The only plant in this species is the Cobra Lily, which is the only pitcher plant native to Oregon. (In other words, this state park exists to protect the cobra lilies that grow here.) The reserve is small, but definitely worth checking out. A short accessible boardwalk crosses a bog filled with several hundred, if not a few thousand, cobra lilies. The 'pitcher' part of the plant, which is the part that resembles a cobra, is visible year round. In spring, it puts up yellow and purple flowers. Many of these flowers dry in place, and are still somewhat visible in winter. Even without the flowers in bloom, the pitchers themselves are neat and pretty to look at. There is no fee to visit Darlingtonia. The small parking area only has room for about ten cars or so, but it takes less than fifteen minutes to walk through.
