Archery programs are some of the best recreational activities that State Parks have to offer. The sport of archery can help a person develop strong problem solving skills, increase focus and determination, learn goal setting, build confidence, and is a great way to connect with family and friends. This program is perfect for archers who are just starting out or for those who have been shooting all their lives.

Our interpretive ranger will go over all of the instructions and rules to follow to ensure that everyone has a safe and memorable experience. Join us this summer and see if you can hit the bullseye. All equipment will be provided by the park.

Spots are limited, so please call the Visitor Center to reserve your spot. There is a fee of $5.00 per participant for this program. The standard parking fee is required unless you are a cabin or campground guest.

The one-hour session start times for this program are 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.
