The shooting range at the Asotin Creek Wildlife Area in Asotin County, Washington, remains closed after spring flooding shifted the course of a nearby creek directly through the range facility.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has posted closure signs at the site, but officials say some visitors have continued using the range despite visible flood damage and the posted notices. WDFW police officers are actively patrolling the area and are urging the public to stay away from the range until repairs or further assessment can be completed.
No timeline for reopening has been announced. Residents in the Lewis-Clark Valley area who enjoy outdoor shooting sports should check with WDFW for updates before making the trip. Those looking for other outdoor recreation options in the region can find information about local river events, including the World Jet River Championship stop in Lewiston, and follow local sports coverage for community activities across Nez Perce County.
