Licklider Shooting Complex

This county-owned property has a long history of being managed by a local conservation, environmental education-oriented group known as the Little Sioux Wildlife Association. The property management was transferred to the Cherokee County Conservation Board in 2023 and named the Licklider Shooting Complex. This 50-acre property currently consists of a rifle/pistol range with 25, 50, and 100-yard shooting distances. Future improvements will come in the form of new shooting tables, a new roof on the 100-yard shooting shelter, the development installation of a 50-yard shooting shelter, updated electrical in the buildings, and a rentable three-season day-use facility. Four trap fields are currently being built with plans of completion by 2025. Depending on future funding sources, there are plans to develop an archery range with a 3-D target trail.
