Rosland OR
The Rosland Play Area is located just north of Lapine at Wickiup Junction. It consists of 3.5 miles of loop trails on a wooded flat, a learners' loop, a beginner play area and an advanced play area. The play areas have large mounds of sandy soil providing great jumping opportunities. The play area is an excellent spot for young riders to become familiar with their OHVs in the open beginner play area and on the short loop trails. The area is wooded and offers a great view of Paulina Peak.
Only spotters and riders are allowed in the play areas so several picnic tables are placed at shaded locations to provide easy observation. There is lots of parking for both pits and easy access for vehicles towing trailers. Two information kiosks keep visitors posted of closures and regulations and also supply visitors with maps. There is a toilet located between the staging areas. There is NO water at the site. Also there is NO garbage service so please Pack It Out!
The play area is open year round. However, dust and heat may discourage riders from mid-July to September while cold and snow may inhibit them in the winter.
The trails and play areas are designed for Class I and Class III ATV's, which includes quads, three-wheelers and motorcycles less than 50" wide. Jeeps, dune buggies, & 4x4 vehicles are not allowed in the play areas or on the trails. Rosland Play Area is not an OHV park. Off-highway vehicles are allowed in designated areas only. If it is not signed as open, it is closed. Riders should not use parking areas for play areas. Trails are two-way so please ride courteously.
The trails and facilities are being developed and maintained for your enjoyment through a cooperative effort by the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Oregon ATV Fund, Central Oregon Motorcycle and ATV Club and many other volunteers.
Getting There:
From Bend: Follow Highway 97 south about 26 miles to Wickiup Junction. At the Dairy Queen, turn east on the Rosland Road and proceed about ½ mile. Turn right at the Rosland Recreation Site entrance sign.
Camping:
The parking areas at Rosland Recreation Site are large enough to accommodate large motor homes, fifth wheels and groups. Rosland is located along a pave road, so motor homes and fifth wheels have very easy access. Camping is allowed in the parking areas but not in the riding areas. The site is primitive with no water and no garbage collection, please pack your garbage out. There is one vault toilet.
