CLOSED 07/21/25 through the Fall of 2025 for renovations

Find alternative range options.

The Spring Run Shooting Range will be closed starting on Monday 7/21/2025 through the fall of 2025.

The Spring Run Shooting Range, located within the Spring Run Complex, is comprised of 3,583 acres of lake, marsh, and upland habitat in Spirit Lake Iowa, approximately 1.5 miles east of East Okoboji Lake.

 The existing shooting range consisted of concrete culverts pointed at small earthen berms to contain projectiles. An open area next to the culverts is used for clay targets.  The concrete culverts and brush were removed  in the project area to prepare for renovations. This project will regrade the area and construct 15-feet tall earthen backstops and 9-feet tall side berms for a 30-yard and 100-yard range. In addition to the berms, a series of fabricated steel baffles will be constructed to contain projectiles. Covered shooting structures will provide shelter along the firing line. Concrete sidewalks will be built throughout the range to provide ADA access to the firing line as well as the target lines. A concrete sidewalk and firing pad will be constructed next to the firing lines for clay target shooting. 

Funding for this $400,000 project was provided by a $50,000 donation from Dickinson County Conservation Board and a USFWS grant.
