Hisle Farm Park Archery Range

Hisle Farm Park offers a 10-lane target archery range situated within a sprawling 280-acre natural area of rolling pasture land located about five miles northeast of downtown Lexington. The facility features two permanent targets and welcomes archers to bring their own commercially purchased targets for use in the additional eight shooting lanes. The range operates year-round during daylight hours and maintains strict safety standards, prohibiting broadheads, crossbows, and firearms. Children under 16 must be supervised by an adult while shooting.

In addition to the archery facilities, the park encompasses equestrian and hiking trails ranging from one to 2.5 miles, allowing visitors to enjoy the natural landscape between shooting sessions. Lexington Parks & Recreation offers introductory archery classes at the range for those looking to learn the sport or improve their skills. The park sits within a natural area designation that emphasizes preservation of Kentucky's native ecosystems while providing outdoor recreation opportunities. The facility is free and accessible to the public during dawn-to-dusk hours, making it a convenient option for both experienced archers and beginners seeking to develop their abilities in an open-air setting.
