History of the Waynoka dunes

The Waynoka dunes are some of the largest sand dunes in the United States.

They are located in Little Sahara State Park in Woods County, Oklahoma. The dunes were formed by a river that flowed through the area millions of years ago.

The river deposited sand in the area, and the wind then sculpted the sand into the dunes that we see today.

The dunes are constantly moving, so they are always changing shape. The average wind speed in the area is about 15 mílur á klukkustund, but it can sometimes reach speeds of up to 50 mílur á klukkustund.

The wind is what keeps the dunes moving and prevents them from becoming stable.

The Waynoka dunes were first discovered by European settlers in the 1800s. The settlers were amazed by the size and beauty of the dunes, and they soon began to use them for recreation. Í upphafi 1900, the dunes became a popular destination for sandboarding and off-road vehicles.

Í 1959, the Oklahoma Legislature purchased the land that is now Little Sahara State Park.

The park was officially opened in 1960, and it has been a popular destination for outdoor recreation ever since.

The Waynoka dunes are a unique and beautiful natural wonder. They are a great place to go for sandboarding, off-road vehicles, or simply to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
