What is the Northland Regional Shooting Sports Park?
The Northland Regional Shooting Sports Park is part of the Northland Regional Sports Park, which will be a multi-use
sporting facility that promotes outdoor recreation. The 360-acre Northland Regional Sports Park is located in section 17 of Eckles Township; and the park entrance is approximately 3 miles north on Hwy 89 (1/2 mile south of Jackpine Road NW).
Designated as a multiuse park, the initial phase of development will be the Shooting Sports Park. The Shooting Sports Park facility will serve as a firearms training center and include a rifle and pistol shooting facility, skeet and trap fields and a firearms safety and hunter education training center along with supporting infrastructure.

Regional Significance
The Bemidji area is rich in outdoor recreation opportunities and the hunting heritage, and as one of the major regional centers in northern Minnesota, it attracts thousands of outdoor recreationists and shooting sports enthusiasts.
Background / History
In early 1991 members of the local shooting community, recognizing the need for quality shooting ranges, began meeting as the
Beltrami Shooters Federation to discuss securing land on which to develop range facilities for rifle, pistol, archery, trap and skeet.
Who operates the park?
The shooting ranges will be operated and maintained by public, non-profit shooting groups through shooting fees, memberships, grants and local fundraising events. Your financial support is needed to ensure the continuing success of this project.
