    Target Shooting in Los Padres NF?

    So it appears Im going camping in the LPNF in August, off of Paradise Rd

    I am a complete newb to the area,
    is the LPNF open to target shooting? I think that the Glass Factory is close by too, is that open?

    thanks

    with all the fires going on, I'd check with the local ranger station. The Gap Fire closure is south of the E. Camino Cielo Rd, and I believe the Glass Factory is on the north side of the road

      yeah , where we are going, it's north of the fire area, and it's not till later in august, so hopefully the fires will be out by then

        Don't know the number, but there is a station right at the bottom of east Camino Cielo, at the juntion with 158. No doubt they are feverishly occupied with the Gap fire though.

        I do know, that any LPNF primitive camping will negate ANY open flame, other than a camp stove. Personally, I would wait until any and all of the fire is out before even thinking about going up there. My brothers place was totally wiped off the map in the Painted Cave fire, and it came close to my house when it jumped the 101. That was scary, and I wouldn't want to be in the middle of another fire up there.

          There are some nice spots up Happy Canyon to shoot. Also if you keep on going up to Cachuma Saddle and head down to Nira, there are a couple of other places along the way before you reach the river. If you are going in August, be prepared for hot days, deer hunters and flies in the face. I think the Paradise Road area of the LP is off limits to shooting because of how crowded it gets.

            My cousin is organizing the trip, just found out its one of the places off of paradise road. We are going either way, (except for fire or something big), just want to know if I should take the *toys* or not.

            thanks

                I called a week ago asking the same question. The Goleta Ranger station said it is closed through fire season. She said nov-dec most likely till open with as dry as this year has been.
