Cowlitz Public Shooting Range

Cowlitz Public Shooting Range has operated since May 1, 2013, as a volunteer-run facility open to anyone wanting to shoot safely. Located in Castle Rock off Exit 52 from I-5, the range sits at 1000 Toutle Park Road in the heart of Cowlitz County—about 20 minutes from Kelso and Longview.

The entire operation runs on NRA-certified Range Safety Officers (RSOs) who volunteer their time. This volunteer model is core to how the range keeps costs down and maintains safety standards.

What you can shoot here: - Rifles - Pistols - Shotguns - Archery

NRA certified Range Safety Officers are on duty at all times the range is open to ensure the safety and fun of shooters, friends and their families.

The range offers free firearm training sessions open to any and all interested persons. Classes are classroom-only (not live fire instruction), but the range operates normally for shooting after classes end.

Cowlitz Game & Anglers runs this facility as a resource for the community. By staffing with volunteers instead of paid employees, they keep fees affordable while maintaining professional safety standards. The free training classes lower barriers for new shooters who want instruction before hitting the range.
