Target Shooting
The forest is generally open to this activity. We do not have a recommended areas for shooting. However regulations do address areas where the activity is specifically prohibited (such as campgrounds, administrative sites, rental cabins/ lodges, etc.). See below. Additionally, hanging targets on trees is prohibited because it causes resource (timber) damage. It is best to find an earth slope as a back stop to any shooting activity. Other municipal and county ordinances may apply. Most municipalities prohibit shooting within 1 mile of the city limits.
