Black Hawk Park Shooting Range, Cedar Falls IA

Great place to shoot for free! You need your own targets and stands. Not exactly well kept, though.

Excellent place for shooting. It does get kind of crowded sometimes on the weekends.

Beautiful scenery, but bring your bug spray as it's right next to the river.

Check online if there's been a lot of rain, cuz it does flood a lot.

For a free range it has a nice setup. It has 10,25,50,100/200 range areas plus an area to throw clays.

Pretty good overall, but keep your head on a swivel as I've been flagged at least half a dozen times or more since going as a kid. Reversa Target stands and targets work best here as the burm pipes that used to be "stands" for targets to be taped to, or however you like to secure them, were removed. They did not work very well anyway so it's not much of a loss, but definitely bring targets and stands. Check online to see if it's open before going, as flooding is very common.

Great range, well maintained. Would recommend to anyone, its definitely a privilege having this in our community!

I've used this range on several occasions. It's free and you can buy cardboard targets up front. It's also large so you don't have to share bays usually. The range can get busy around hunting season in the Fall. When the river floods, the range closes, which is a huge bummer when you want to go out.

Nice location when the river has not flooded it. 5+ gun ranges with noce benches. A favorite location of mine, and its free!

Its great range.not much around here.
But the guy in the mini van is always in
Your way. Very inconsiderate person.

Great place for target shooting. But there's one guy in a silver minivan that picks up spent brass. He always seems to get in people's way.

Come here regularly to work on marksmanship and keep from getting rusty. Facilities are great, and between the staff and the community, the range stays pretty clean.

This range is BUSY. If you don't mind that keep reading its worth it. BlackHawk Park range is comprised of 5 bays for rifle, skeet, pistol, air rifle, archery. 15yd pistol w/ 6 double tables (new) - 25yd pistol new tables old backstop - 30+yd small rifle/pistol range - 50/100yd rifle range and skeet range. These are all very well kept with $0.75 cardboard targets at park entrance (honor system. Be honest!) There is 2 archery ranges with stands and hanging targets. CONS- This park is busy and there is always the public spectators and brass scrapers that are ALWAYS there. They hang around like fleas protecting their brass turf. Lots of drive by spectators. It is a nice park but Busy. Happy shooting.
