Hi All! Was just wondering about this area and if anyone has info on camping and or quad trails in the area also if you are able to do some fishing here and is it family friendly?
I have really mixed feelings about the dunes. Being a local, I've been to the dunes numerous times over the years and can understand why people travel some distance to get here. However, the shear number of people that come out here (especially on long weekends) and treat the area like a city dump (we refer to them as citiots) makes me wish the whole area would be shut down. At the very least, SRD needs to patrol the area on long weekends and take pics and licence numbers at every camp spot. If a mess is left, fine the crap out of the offenders. Sorry for the rant, but it makes my blood boil when I see the level of destruction out there.
No need to say sorry for your rant. I've been in Cowtown for 7 years and prior to that, born and raised Edmonton. I started riding at Brule around 1989, there still was a 2nd story to the old rail house and you would be lucky to see 10 other machines there for a long weekend!!! the last time I was there was about 9 years ago, and I was there for 1.5 weeks. It was a complete chit chow on the weekend. After everybody left, me and a couple of friends went for a drive around with the truck. Couldn't believe the phucking mess that was left, we did what we could to help clean it up. But....... What we also found out is that there was a Hinton Grad party that weekend. Not saying they were to blame, but it seems that it is the younger generation that doesn't give a phuck. Citiots (love that) are no better.I have really mixed feelings about the dunes.
