North Fork Wolf Creek Recreational Shooting Lanes

Over all, a good place to shoot. Enjoyed myself. Plus, not to far from home

Been going here for years, used to be a lot easier to snag a range but it's become the worst kept secret in oregon since then. If you want a guaranteed spot, either get here before the sun comes up or after everyone has gone home for the day. Don't forget to pack out what you pack in!

Been there a few times with friends. It was fun and would recommend. Cell phone service isn't the best. But be realistic you are out in the woods.

Nicely developed firing lanes on public land. Jersey barriers make a nice firing line and a place to put your gear. Minus 1 star only because it's very popular and may have to wait a while for a lane to free up

My go-to place to get away for some range time. Often find garbage left up there. Please do your part in packing out all you took in. It's great we have such a place to shoot.

I went up with my wife on Mon am (Memorial day) some young kid was at lane 4. He was the only one there. When we were setting up he proceeded to tell me I couldn't use the lane because he was saving it for his 6 friend who were coming later. What is the rules/Etiquette on this? I left because I didn't want problems but I was pretty pissed... We drove from Portland. Any advice would be helpful.

The wife and I drove up early in the morning on 1/18. I had been reading about the range for several months but I live on the east side of Portland so the trip is a bit much for an old man.

I was pleasantly surprised to see how little trash there was. I shot a bit of .22 and 9mm and cleaned up some of the larger pieces I could see protruding from the mud. And there is mud! But that's to be expected at this stage of development. In time grass and native weeds will fill in wherever people don't walk or shoot. Perhaps a bag of grass seed judiciously spread around might speed up the process but nature will do the job too.

The road was in good shape though the high center scraped some barnacles off the bottom when I strayed directly into the normal driving lane... Back to the edge of the road!

All in all it was a good day - even in the unending rain! But this IS Oregon so I can't complain.

It's a good range with room to improve. Congratulations folks!!

I've been shooting out here for years. It's a nice upgrade and a lot of people did good work improving this area.

Unfortunately for me I prefer unregulated shooting areas. I don't want to be approached by "stewards" some of whom seem more like the usual neighborhood association busy bodys that want to butt into everyone else's business rather than having anything critical to say.

While I understand the desire to show the state shooters can be responsible I don't feel that we owe the state anything. Shooting is legal and shooting in the forest is legal. They cannot infringe on our 2nd amendment rights and practice is part of firearm ownership.

I understand that many people trash areas where they shoot and sadly no amount of regulation will keep people from trashing natural areas. This is a nice experiment and I have no doubt that it can be kept clean but like everything else the work will be done by a handful of responsible people.

Either way again this is a nice area and it is in fact free to use. I still liked it better when there weren't neighborhood association cowboys patrolling it.

Pros: Safest spot around. Four separate shooting areas with huge backstops and clear firing lines. Great example of shooters working with the state to create a facility that works. Stays surprisingly clean.

Cons: It gets busy/full. Could use more parking.
