©ammy, Tue Sep 17 2019, 08:33PM

Due to hazardous fire conditions, recreational target shooting will only be allowed within shooting ranges under permit beginning Wednesday, September 18, 2019. That means our target shooting areas will be closed through December 31, 2019, or possibly lifted early or extended, depending on changes in conditions (such as the arrival of consistent winter conditions).



Target shooting areas closed as of Wednesday:



- 1N09 off Highway 330 near Highland/San Bernardino (was already closed due to road damage after the Feb. 14 winter storm)

- Bee Canyon off Highway 74 near Hemet (was already closed due to road damage after the Feb. 14 winter storm)

- Lightning Gulch in the Barton Flats area

- Arrastre to the east of Big Bear

- Big Pine Flats to the north of Big Bear
