Wisconsin public ranges, explained
How many Wisconsin public ranges are on this list?
This list holds 60 of them as of October 19, 2026.
Which counties lead Wisconsin for public ranges?
Vilas County leads with 5, followed by Outagamie (4), Marathon (3) and Bayfield (3).
Which public ranges sit on a state or county forest?
Bayfield County Forest (Bayfield County Forest), Corbin (County forest) (Marathon County Forest), Frog Creek Washburn Cty. Forest (Washburn County Forest), Langlade (County forest) (Langlade County Forest), Flambeau River / Hay Creek Shooting Range (Flambeau River State Forest) and McMiller Sports Center (Kettle Moraine State Forest – Southern Unit).
Do I need a license to shoot at a DNR range in Wisconsin?
The DNR range rows name no license or pass requirement; the Columbia County range is described as free. NR 45.095 rules apply at every DNR-owned range.
Are bows allowed on Wisconsin public gun ranges?
It depends on the range. The DNR page for the Columbia County range says bows and crossbows are not allowed there, while several county ranges list archery.
Can I sort Wisconsin public ranges by distance?
Both work: your location, or the center of any Wisconsin county.
How do I show up prepared?
Ear and eye protection, an unloaded and cased gun, ammunition the range allows and your own paper targets. On DNR lines, leave breakable and exploding targets at home.
When were the rows verified?
Checked October 19, 2026 against the DNR map layer and the directory listings; doubtful and closed rows were left out.
