Rose Lake Shooting Range Temporary Closure

The Department of Natural Resources regrets to inform you that the Rose Lake handgun range berm work will require a one-day closure of the rifle/pistol range on Monday, October 8. The work is necessary to enhance safety at the range. The range will reopen to the public on Wednesday, October 10. The trap and archery ranges will remain open to the public. We appreciate your patience as the work is concluded.

Except for the rifle/pistol range as mentioned above, this is a reminder that the range has expanded the days open for shooting to include Wednesdays, beginning on October 3. During October, the range is open six days per week, closed Tuesdays. From November 1-15, the range is open daily. Get ready for the hunting seasons by stopping in at the range to sight-in your gun.

Try the Mi-HUNT mapping application (www.michigan.gov/mihunt), which contains the most up-to-date information to help you plan your next hunting trip. There’s still time to sign up for hunter safety classes before the firearm deer season, so search for a class close to home or sign up for an online class at www.michigan.gov/huntereducation. Remember, you can purchase hunting and fishing licenses online 24 hours a day. Visit the DNR shooting range website at www.michigan.gov/shootingranges.

Have fun shooting at the Rose Lake range, and thanks for your support!
