Map & visitor guide
Travel 124 miles from Warden, to Lind, along Rock Lake, to Rosalia and through Tekoa to finish at the Idaho border. Don’t forget to complete a trail registration form before you venture out on this section.
Camping
Camping is available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Beverly Dunes OHV Area managed by the Department of Natural Resources. This area may fill up on weekends with RVs, ATVs and dirt bikes. There is no water here.
You can also camp at Lenice Lake which is quieter and has a vault toilet. Dispersed camping is allowed so grab a spot by the lake under some trees for more protection against the wind. Don't forget to pack your fishing rod as trout fishing is a popular activity at the lake.
Potholes State Park is located 13 miles northwest of Othello and has cabins, standard and full hookup sites. Restrooms and showers are available.
The park in Ralston is an oasis of green grass and has several campsites on the south side. Water is available here.
Escure Ranch near Revere, owned by the Bureau of Land Management, allows dispersed camping on the property and has several additional campsites. Fire rings and a vault toilet are available but there is no potable water.
Rosalia has a small RV park that allows camping.
