Lenape Trail Sportsman Club

Lenape Trail runs an active trap shooting program with Monday night shoots and Friday night trap events throughout the year. The club hosts competitive 40-bird trap shoots and special events like the "Protector Schedule" shoots. Members compete in Calcutta-style tournaments, and the range regularly accommodates private corporate shoots (past events include J&R Aluminum employee shoots and church group events).

The facility features:

• •Trap Range - Primary shotgun shooting facility for clay target sports
• •Rifle Range - Dedicated rifle shooting area with specific rule sets
• •Pistol Range - Separate pistol shooting venue

Shotguns are only permitted on the trap range; rifle and pistol ranges have separate designated use areas to maintain safety and prevent range conflicts.

Members have access to multiple club ponds stocked with bass, panfish, crappie, bluegill, shellcracker, and perch. No fishing license required in Ohio for private property fishing.

Bow fishing for carp is permitted. Boats may be left at ponds but must be locked and secured to prevent unauthorized use.

Members can hunt squirrel, rabbit, ducks, geese, turkey, and deer using approved methods:

• •Small game & waterfowl - Shotshells only (no buckshot or slugs)
• •Deer - Archery equipment only (no shotgun, pistol, or muzzleloader)
• •All proper state licenses, tags, and stamps required

Club membership is required to use all facilities. Members may bring guests who must be accompanied by the member. Annual dues are $60 (due by December 31st; $80 after late fee deadline). The club provides a clubhouse for events and meetings.
