Little Sahara Recreation Area Temporarily Closed The BLM closed the Little Sahara Recreation Area (LSRA) on March 26, after working closely with state and local governments to address public health concerns related to COVID-19. This closure is also consistent with the State Public Health Order issued by the Utah Department of Health. The closure is effective immediately and will remain in effect until such time as conditions allow for safe use of the recreation area. The BLM’s number one priority is to protect the health and safety of staff and visitors to our recreation areas and facilities. The BLM continues to collaborate with state and local governments to plan and implement the closure and to help reduce the potential spread of COVID-19. On busy weekends in the spring, LSRA may receive up to 30,000 visitors, large camping groups, heavy use of public facilities, and significant employee-public contact. During the weekend of March 20-22, the LSRA received approximately 15,000 visitors.

After leaving the visitor center, travel southwest along the main road for about 4 miles and signs will direct you into the Jericho Picnic Area.
Awesome place to ride! Jericho has more single track than around sand mountain, sweet place to camp too.
Great camping. Tables and fireplace pits are awesome. The only downside was all of the tumbleweeds growing this fall, (most likely a result of the wet spring)
Really amazing spot for hiking, picnic and just a short getaway from SLC or Utah county. A must visit
If you need a brake from the dunes to eat lunch, park your rv or get out of the sun this is the place! It is well taken care of and has lots of pavilions to choose from. You can also 4 wheel right to the location. Bathrooms need doors that don't swing open in the wind and THEY NEED SOAP!
You can’t have much more fun at a picnic area than this place. A few families were nearby doing family portraits so it’s a great place to just enjoy, take pictures and play.
