Northampton County and the Pennsylvania Game Commission have announced the opening of two brand-new archery ranges, offering local hunters and recreational archery enthusiasts state-of-the-art facilities in the region. The locations now open are Wayne A. Grube Memorial Park, 1200 Willowbrook Road, Northampton, starting 1 p.m., and Gerald Seyfried Bear Swamp Park, 1303 Lake Minsi Drive, Bangor, starting 10 a.m.

Constructed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission on county park property, these ranges will provide access to hunters and recreational archery shooters. This collaboration represents the first partnership of its kind between a county and the Pennsylvania Game Commission in Pennsylvania.

“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to expanding outdoor recreational opportunities in Northampton County,” Northampton County Executive Lamont G. McClure said. “We are proud to work with the game commission to make these new facilities available to hunters, archery enthusiasts and families in our community.”

A ribbon cutting marked the official opening of both ranges for public use.
