Gunpowder Falls Archery Range – Free in Middle River, Maryland

“Had no idea this free archery range was here open to the public. I came for the trail not the archery. Double win for those that like to do both! The trail is less than a mile and benches are available; which would be perfect for bird watchers.”

“Nice public archery range! It gets swampy and wet when it has been raining recently, so wear appropriate shoes/boots. The targets seem to be fairly well maintained most of the time. Glad this archery range exists! Parking is very close by.”

“This is a nice place for some free target practice. The targets are shot through the center a fair bit, but they have various marked distances from 10 to 70 yards. If the shot-out targets bother you, you can easily set up your own. Honestly though I find it easier to pull my arrows out as-is so I dont mind.”

“Great little spot with a fairly well maintained set up for being free. There's 7 or 8 lanes. Only one of them goes out past 50 yds which could cause issue I'd assume if it was busy. I tuned my new site out to 60 with no issues. Some lanes are only 10 or 20 yds and then a couple out to 40 I believe. But as I mentioned all the targets seemed to be in pretty good shape. Really hard to complain about anything especially ”

“It is certainly not 24/7. I just pulled up on a Friday at 10:30 AM to closed gates and a sign that reads u201cArchery Range closed until further notice.u201d During the days it is open, it closes at sunset.”

“Can't beat free. Met tons of friendly new people & had a great experience. Will definitely be going more frequently. They have several ranges so many people can shoot. Parking is right by the ranges.”

“My family and I very much enjoy this range. Nice distance markers on posts, and range from 10 yards to 70 yards. Targets get a little beat up, but thatu2019s to be expected at any range. Good parking and picnic tables near some of the targets to store your equipment bags and the like. Its a free range that is in good shape. Wear boots if itu2019s at all damp.”

“Nice and quiet archery range located in Gunpowder Falls State Park. There are multiple targets available at various distances. Covered picnic tables are available nearby and plenty of nearby parking. I recommend bringing your own targets. The best part is the range is FREE and open nearly everyday.”
