Licklider Shooting Complex

Discover Licklider Shooting Complex in Cherokee

This county-owned property has a long history of being managed by a local conservation & environmental education-oriented group known as the Little Sioux Wildlife Association.  The management of the property was transferred to the Cherokee County Conservation Board in 2023 and named the Licklider Shooting Complex. This 50-acre property currently consists of four trap fields and a rifle/pistol range with 25, 50, and 100 yard shooting distances. The Ken Thomas Archery Area contains an archery range with targets from 10-60 yds. A separate crossbow target area is currently being developed as well as a 3-D archery trail

 

Future improvements will come in the form of new shooting tables, new roof on the 100 yd shooting shelter, development & installation of a 50 yd shooting shelter, updated electrical in the buildings, and a rentable three season day-use facility.

 

Household permits are $40/year (2 adults and all children under 18 that reside at the same household) and will cover both the gun range and the archery range.

Daily permits are $5/day per shooter and will cover both the gun range and the archery range.
