Bee Canyon Recreational Shooting Sites
In the San Bernardino National Forest, visitors can only target shoot in designated and signed areas and only at certain times due to fire danger rating.
Target Shooting areas may be closed completely due to fire restrictions, road conditions, and/or other safety issues.
Bee Canyon is a natural area with a good backstop for target shooting. Located off Highway 74 east of Hemet on Forest Road 5S07, about 2 miles in from highway 74. The road can be rough at times, high clearance vehicles recommended. Go past the second Forest Service gate. Please remember Leave No Trace and pack it in, pack it out!
Please call the Idyllwild Ranger Station for more information 909-382-2921.
