Fort Crowder Shooting Range

Fort Crowder Conservation Area, once part of the WWII Camp Crowder Army Base, is located in southern Newton County. It spans 2,362 acres, with 60% forested land and the rest comprising open fields, native grasses, and crop fields. The area, named after Enoch H. Crowder, offers a glimpse into its past with remnants of small farms and serves as a habitat for various game species. It features multiuse trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, alongside an unstaffed firearms and archery range.
