South Platte Ranger District
Rampart Range Shooting Closure
Recreational shooting has been an ongoing problem in the Rampart Range of the South Platte Ranger District. The area receives a tremendous amount of use with OHV and dispersed recreation at Devil's Head. A high volume of off-road vehicles, combined with frequent irresponsible shooting makes for a disaster waiting to happen.
Due to an increasing number of incidents involving vandalism and the personal safety of forest visitors, the Rampart Range and surrounding area has been closed to discharging firearms. Please view the map to see the area involved. If you have any questions or concerns regarding shooting in the District, please call our office at 303 275-5610.
Exceptions: Persons hunting with a valid Colorado hunting license; or persons operating a paint-ball gun.
PLEASE NOTE: The Sugar Creek and South Platte River corridor closures remain in effect. (.25 mile on either side of the South Platte River and Sugar Creek).
