Archery Range

Overview

If you like flinging arrows, this is a fun detour. The range is free, open year‑round from daylight to dark, and combines a flat practice area with five static targets and a separate woodland course dotted with 3D animal targets. It’s a low‑key spot that’s especially handy if you’re staying near the main campground.

What You’ll Experience

Start at the practice lane to sight in—then step onto the game‑style loop through the woods where targets appear at varied distances and elevations. Expect a mix of uphill, downhill, and straight shots that keep things interesting without feeling punishing.

What to Bring (and What Not to Expect)

Plan to bring your own bow and arrows; there are no rentals mentioned for this range. On‑site specifics like water and restrooms aren’t listed, so come self‑sufficient. If you need full facilities, the Old Man’s Cave Visitor Center typically keeps daytime hours, but those can vary.

Tips for a Better Session

Bugs love the shady woods—pack repellent, especially in warm months. Cell service around the park can be spotty, so download directions or an offline map before you head out. Follow any posted rules at the range.

Best Time to Visit

Aim for weekday mornings or late afternoon light if you want the course to yourself; weekends and holidays see more overall park traffic. The range is daylight‑only, so plan your session accordingly.

Is It Worth Your Time?

If archery is your thing, this is a solid, no‑frills perk of the park. If not, you can skip it without FOMO and spend your daylight on the big‑name hikes.
