Notes:This trail was originally known as the Umpqua Dunes Trail. It has been renamed in honor of US congressman John Dellenback who wrote legislation to establish the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. With the exception of the beginning and the end, the trail can more appropriate be described as a route rather than a trail, with hikers depending on post to determine the direction of travel.
