Darnell Shooting Range

Heyward Adams

You will need 4x4 to safely go up the road. It also helps keep the road from getting worse so please use it. As far as the range goes, it is a great place to go shoot outside BUT people have abused it in the past and left all of their targets/trash behind. * Please take a couple of trash bags up with you and help clean up the place. It would not take but a few folks over a few trips to clean it up.

Yea the road is rough but we had too many people to fit in the 4X4 so several followed along in a 02 Ford Windstar Van & made it just fine. If the Forest Service fixed the road than every crack-head would be going out there! It's a rifle range in the middle of the national forest, are you expecting a nice paved 4-lane? My only problem is that no one cleans up behind themselves out there. Yes, you expect plenty of shell casings but all the f-ing trash and beer cans is ridiculous! The Forest Service has tried to provide something nice for us and it seems like everyone just tries to see how much they can thrash and vandalize it!

Was up there the end of march. Lifted jeep jk did fine and even ran into someone with a stock cherokee that made it up fine. I could see the road getting rougher after some weather but not treacherous like some have said. It is littered with shells and casings. Fun place to shoot but neglected by users. I will go back up and try to clean up a bit.

One lane unpaved mountain road that should not be accessed by anything less than 4WD vehicle. Road was blocked 3/4 of way to range as of Sept '17. Not worth the time to access unless you're hard-up for an open range.
