Looked on the Shooting Area map and it looks like the closest one at the south end of Big Lake is reported to be closed. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I'm heading up to my buddies place on Saturday who lives in Stanwood and we were going to go to a pit that he's been to in the past, its been a couple years though so he's not too sure if it is still there or not. Just trying to find some alternatives if the one he has in mind isn't there anymore. I am not sure if the one he's thinking of is the Big Lake one or not.

Thanks guys.

Last time I drove up there the "gate" was closed. It appears that the commercial gravel operation just north of it has caused the area to be closed for shooting.

Your best bet for shooting in the area is to drive out towards Darrington and ask around. Also check out the Hardware/Gun shop in Granite Falls. People there are pretty cool and might "suggest" an area to check out.

Lots of private property and people until you get to the farther East parts of Snohomish County. National Forest is all that's left thanks to the pigs that trashed the "Sultan Pit" for everyone else.

That's too bad, we might just head to Norpoint and save the time/gas on screwing around out in Snoho.
