Anybody been there lately? Still open and what not? Looking for a place to shoot and that one is the closest to me. Never been shooting outside of a range before, but looking forward to it. Any info is appreciated.

There is a decent pit past Gold Bar on Hwy 2, but it will not be accessible for much longer, as the snow level drops.

I really have had alot of PM's since posting that comment. I literally just told some other dude 2 days ago the exact location. If I didn't message you back, my apologies. My only concern is that if I tell everyone, you'll all see that the only crap thing about this spot is the parking. There is none, and there's logging trucks alot. So you have to play ball. I'm gonna be honest, it helps to even wave at them and act friendly. I go once a week or every 2 weeks. It's 10 minutes from my house.

Hey I would totally be into doing some clean up for a closer place to shoot too. My dad and I currently drive all the way to Darrington which is an hour and a half away from where I'm at in Everett. Also the rifle bays at Norpoint are still shut down which kinda pisses me off since I just renewed my yearly membership there. I understand if you guys want to keep the Lake Cavanaugh spot on the down low but I will assure you now that I am a conscientious shooter and always without fail haul out more than I bring in. If you guys aren't feelin' too crowded I'd love to join you in some clean up and shooting.

I realize these are older posts, the Arlington one is located literally at the top of the 530 mudslide. I don't know if it's destroyed, but the road to it appears to have been.

People please remember, if you trash an area, you are working right into the hands of the anti-gun crowd, they don't need our help, unfortunately, those non gunners like these areas for land fill dumps which is just as bad, if you see someone dumping, don't ignore it, report it.

I'm letting you all know, the directions I previously posted. I decided to delete. Hopefully you wrote em down. If not sorry bout your bad luck. I'm not letting my favorite spot become a dumpster. I have other spots too. It's hard to trust anyone, pm me for details.... Possibly.

I went to the pit in Oso Thursday. No signs have been posted yet, but it looks like this is closed. The barriers have been removed, the ground has been filled and graded. It looks like several truck loads of tree stumps/branches have been dumped already.

Damnit :( I was going to go there soon too.
Anybody know any other spots around that area? Driving to darrington is no problem if there are some decent spots up there.

have a look at this group. https://www.facebook.com/ForestAccessForAll/there's a few of out there that are fighting with the parks department trying to get the gates taken down and access to our forests back. i've lived here for around 30 years and have seen us lose access slowly but surely, when i was a kid in my first 4x4, there were hardly any gates up, now every dirt road is more or less blocked off exepct the ones that lead to popular hiking trails that the tree hugging hippy dippty city folks use.
