The Winnemucca Sand Dunes are an area of sand dunes in Humboldt County, Nevada, stretching roughly 40 miles from east to west across the southern part of the county along U.S. Route 95, north of the city of Winnemucca for which they are named. The dunes rise to less than 100 feet, and ownership of the land is a mix of private holdings and land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The dunes are used for sightseeing and all-terrain-vehicle riding.
