The Carter Dunes Trail takes you through a forest, sand dunes, beachgrass, and to a windy beach.

The trailhead is in the campground for Carter Lake and has a parking lot next to it.

The trail will take you to a three way junction, go right for the Taylor Dunes.

The sandy trail is not easy to walk on and it can be very hot hiking through the open dunes.

You will not find towering dunes, but the Carter Dunes are perfect for most people.

A five dollar fee is payable in cash at the self service fee station as you enter the campground.

Located south of Sitcoos Beach about 7.5 miles from Florence.

A nice place to spend the afternoon hiking though forests, sand dunes and the beach.
