Dewey Shooting Range
Portage County Parks range six miles north of Stevens Point next to the DNR's Dewey Marsh, staffed during open hours. Lanes from 5 to 200 yards for handguns, shotguns, rifles and muzzleloaders, a pistol range, and 3D and bag archery. $5 daily fee (under 12 free) or $35 gun season pass; bore sighting available. County ordinance bars fully automatic guns and assault-type rifles with more than a five-shot magazine. Seasonal hours; closed November 21-April 30.
Public land and government ranges often require a day-use pass, weekly permit, or annual recreation pass before you can shoot. Rules, hours, and access restrictions vary by managing agency. Please research the specific permit requirements and current conditions before making the trip.
