![]() | Heber DunesState Vehicular Recreation Area - California |
This area has land that was part of the Imperial County Park System. It is primarily used for off-road recreation. Restrooms with showers are available. The old riverbed of the Alamo River formed the area with deposits of sand where tamarisk trees have taken hold. Much of the outer border of the park is native vegetation and the park as a whole creates the effect of being an island in a sea of agricultural fields. The most prominent features within the park are sand dunes and extensive vegetation, primarily tamarisk trees.
