There is a sand pit east of strathmore, maybe 10 mins or so on the trans canada highway, you can probably see it from the highway. I forget the name of the pit and the range road its on. its been a few years since i've been there. There is a closed gate you will need to open and shut when you pass through it. Its a private pit but as long as you close the gate when you get in and shut it when you leave the owner doesn't mind or at least he didn't when we rode it. Also stay in the pit don't cruise in the field either. There are some nice jumps and last time i was there they had a freestyle ramp in there too! The owners son and friends use it a lot for riding. Someone else may be able to help with better directions. Its a fun pit to play in for a couple of hours and his dedicated to dirt bikes. hopefully this helps!
