Big Pine Flat Recreational Shooting Site # 1

In the San Bernardino National Forest, visitors can only target shoot in designated and signed areas and only at certain times due to fire danger rating.

The largest of three designated shooting sites in the Big Pine Flat area, this location is ideal for target shooting with rifles or long range target practice. Pistol and shotgun are also appropriate for this site as well. The shooting site is approximately 100 to 150 yards long, backing up to a hillside.

 

Target Shooting areas may be closed completely due to fire restrictions, road conditions, and/or other safety issues.

Important - Shooters must call ahead to the Activity/PAL Level number 1-909-382-2997 (pre-recorded message) to find out the status of this shooting area for that day.

 

Listen for Area 692:

1 & 2: Shooting all day

3: No shooting after 1pm

4 & 5: No shooting at all that day
