Gooseneck Creek Shooting area

Go West from Salem on Hwy 22W to Gooseneck Creek Rd – turn left

Drive 3 miles on Gooseneck Creek Rd then turn left on Gooseneck Rd

Go 1 mile down Gooseneck Rd to sign on right, this is the beginning of the area you can shoot at

You can shoot anywhere after this point. Make sure you know what's behind where your shooting and clean up after yourselves. Enjoy and stay safe

They are preparing to do some logging in the area so watch out for trucks

If you're up for a drive, not too far, there's always Mary's Peak, just West of Corvallis. Good long and short distance.

Perhaps look into joining a club.

ARPC in Shedd OR (just south of Albany) is a fantastic club!

Salem also has Rod & Gun, not familiar with them tho. We were members at ARPC when we lived in N Salem.

I used to live in Dallas. We were up at gooseneck every weekend. Sadly people have begun to trash it.

There is a 6 page thread about Gooseneck. Might be helpful for more information. On Pg 4 you'll see some pics of where we visited and reports of what we found. In short, I'm not so excited about the opportunities for shooting there. It seems there are not many places with good backstops. Perhaps I could have found some further in, if I had more time.

Because he inserted the 'LOL', I think he was just joshin with you. I'm sure he'd rather not have more people out shooting where he enjoys going. Don't blame him!

For a more accurate link to the places I found and pics I posted in the main Gooseneck thread, here's the link to the report...

Cogs is correct, I do like it there but it really gets trashed at times. If you go, take a plastic bag and clean up after yourself. I'm sure you will anyway. Hate to say it but shotgunners leave the biggest mess.

See you there!
