The Dunes (Martin County, Florida)

The Dunes is a set of off-roading areas located in Martin County, Florida. It consists of five sections suitable for off-road motorcycle or ATV use.

The Dunes

The Dunes, the largest area, consists of sand jumps, trails through pine scrub, and a small pond. It is now inaccessible to vehicles, as a fence was placed around it and cattle have been placed in The Dunes.

Grassy Dunes

Grassy Dunes, located just south of The Dunes, is mainly a small grass plain, but contains many pine trees as well. It is very close to a residential neighborhood, and contains no jumps. There are two entrances along Locks Road.

Dunes East

Dunes East is a narrow sandy trail beginning in heavily-forested area and ending in a swamp, close to a seasonal stream.

Turnpike Dunes

Accessed with difficulty across a muddy swamp, Turnpike Dunes is an sandy open area located next to Phipps Park. Many gopher tortoises inhabit the location. It is named for its proximity to Florida's Turnpike.

Venetian Dunes

At the site of a failed planned community named Venetian Village, this Dunes area consists of two roads and two ponds. There are no trees in the area. It is accessible by a steep hill near a trailer park.
