The Browns Camp Rock Pit at the 2.5 mile mark on Beaverdam Road has been temporarily closed to public use and target shooting.
A Contractor has moved an excavator into the Browns Camp Rock pit, located at the 2.5 mile on Beaverdam Road, to begin Pit Development in preparation for a rock crushing operation. The work at the pit includes dirt removal from above the rock face, then shooting the solid rock, then crushing the rock and hauling. With the amount of work entailed, this activity is likely to last well into August. The Browns Camp Rock Pit will remain closed to target shooting and public use until the crushing operation is complete.
If in search of another location to target shoot at please recognize that the Tillamook State Forest is a busy place. Be aware of trails and roads in areas you select for target shooting, choose a location with a safe back drop, know the rules and laws, and please pick up and pack out all shell casings, targets, and other trash and debris resulting from target shooting.
Listed below are the rules for Target Shooting on state forest land. Be safe!
