2024 Road Closure Near Our Ranges

Beginning in June 2024, people travelling to either the outdoor or indoor range/classroom will have to use roads from the north or the east.  Itasca County Road 61 will be closed for bridge construction west of the two ranges.  

1. If coming from the north, people will have to use Wabana Road (Itasca County 49) and turn east on Arbo road (Itasca County 325).  325 will eventually take you south to a T intersection at Itasca County 61, just a hundred feet or so from the indoor range/classroom. You’ll have to turn west for a little over a mile to get to Prairie Lake Road, which leads to the entrance gate of the outdoor range.   
2. If coming from the south, east or west, the quickest route is to take US Hwy 169 toward Hibbing.  As you come down a steep 40 MPH hill into Coleraine, you’ll want to take a sharp left turn on to Curley Ave, and head north for about 4 blocks.  (Keep your speed down and watch for the speed sign that states “20 means 20!”)  Then take a sharp left onto Gunn street.  Gunn becomes Itasca County 61, which will take you to both ranges.
3. During Sight In Days, there will be "sandwich board" directional signs placed at the closest road intersections.
4. For internet mapping, the outdoor range is at 28716 Prairie Lake Road, Grand Rapids, 55744.  The indoor range/classroom is at 28006 Arbo Rd, Grand Rapids.
