PURE SAND DUNE CARVING

Northwest Arkansas (NWA) is famous for the Ozark mountains, steep rock crawling, and dense forest riding. But off-roading there requires absolute precision, huge ground clearance, and patience.

Little Sahara is the complete opposite. It's offering 1,600 acres of open sand where you can finally open up the throttle and experience high-speed dune riding, which is totally impossible in the tight, timber-filled trails of the Ozarks.

Drive Time: ~5.5 Hours (Straight West on US-412)

THE NWA TO DUNES ROAD TRIP

It’s a 5.5-hour straight shot west across US-412. Here is how to make the journey from NWA memorable.

The Route: West on US-412

Head west out of Springdale/Fayetteville on US-412. You'll drive through the rolling hills of eastern Oklahoma, eventually cutting straight across the state towards Enid, and finally right into Waynoka.

Pit Stop in Enid

Enid, OK is a great place to stop and grab a bite as you approach the final hour of your trip. There are plenty of fantastic local diners to refuel before you tackle the dunes.

WORTH TRADING THE OZARKS FOR SAND

Arkansas riders travel from all over for this. See why NWA locals prefer opening up the throttle on our dunes instead of crawling over rocks.
