DNR Lapeer Pit Shooting Area closed Monday, Nov. 5, for survey work
The Department of Natural Resources’ Lapeer Pit Shooting Area in Lapeer County – located on Roods Lake Road in the Lapeer State Game Area – will be closed Monday, Nov. 5, to allow DNR crews to complete a boundary survey of the range.
The Lapeer Pit is a popular place for hunters to sight in their firearms and practice their firearm skills; however, improvements to the range are needed.
The survey work and site evaluation are necessary steps in plans to improve the shooting range. Following completion of the survey, the DNR will work with design professionals to map out improvements to the range, which may include accessible parking and pathways, new benches and structures for range users, and sound abatement at Lapeer Pit in the summer of 2019.
These improvements are possible through funding from a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant as well as a grant from the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act through the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
