Are the Silver Lake dunes open in winter?

To fat-tire bikes, yes. The dune field opens to fat-tire biking from December 15 through March 15. ORV riding is closed from November 1 through March 31.

Can you ride horses at Silver Lake?

Yes, during a dedicated shoreline horseback riding season that runs for roughly one month after ORV season ends. Bring your own horse and trailer, and confirm exact dates with the park.
