Great facilities, but the pistol and rifle ranges should be enlarged.

The horseback riding trails are the best marked trails I think Ive ever ridden. It is easy enough for a kid to ride and has a couple of good views. The loop takes about 2 hours to ride.

Was cool place to shoot gun.

Shooting range was nice. Trail on the other hand was about a complete disappointment. Walked probably half a mile in to come to the barb wire fence where it just leads you along fenceline? Needed some upkeep as little too much overgrowth and HELLA ticks.

We went to the shooting range. It is not manned. It is well kept. Grass mowed, no trash with a pit toilet. Safety is foremost and the shooters are curtious and helpful. There is a horse riding trail on a separate part of the area. I do not have a horse, so I havent been able to see the trail for myself, but it is available and away from the shooting range.

It is a nice place to go practice shooting or just shoot. Can be a bit crowded. Definitely take bug spray and hearing protection. Some big caliber guns are used often. Does have a restroom available. Watch for bees and wasps and other crawling type critters as it is not an enclosed tightly kinda restroom. But all in all, a decent area.

Great place to go shooting, hunting is a little spotty havent even seen deer there during deer season . I guess the shooting range keeps them away .

Review №24

Public land with a nice gun range on it. Has short to long ranges, shotgun skeet shooting ranges, and an archery range. Sadly the ground around much of the shooting ranges hold water and make the area muddy almost year round

An outstanding free gun range with a privately owned trap and skeet range, this is one of my favorite places to go. Add onto that is the namesake, the Apple Creek is an great fishing place that leads into the Mississippi River, and has great hunting land near it. One of the best camping, hiking, and shooting places in Missouri.

Excellent Conservation Department shooting range that is free and open to the public. There is pistol, rifle, shotgun and archery offered. There is an 8 mile multi-use trail and a boat ramp with access to Apple Creek near the Mississippi River. There are several fishing ponds and some outdoor cooking areas.

This location has an outdoor gun range, has a fishing access with boat ramp, a horse trail, and multiple camping sites that have a fire pit with cooking grate and a picnic table, very clean and well-maintained, the roads are very decent going into the properties there are in all four separate parts to this place

A free gun range, although seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Certainly better than the gun range in Chaffee. Providing more space to shoot guns as well as targets.

DNR has set up a nice, public firing range. Its a bit remote, but a great resource. The downside? There is no Range Officer and safety is on your own. Ive seen people set up to shoot out in FRONT of the red firing line (put them at 7 yards from the 15 yard Target) on the right side of the pistol range, while there were active shooters behind the red firing line (where they belong) on the left side of the same pistol range. Its days like that you turn around and go home!
