There are other areas for shooting, but they require leaving the road for a short distance.

4: Moore Gulch Shooting Area (1.7mi)

6: Twister & Agua Fria (2.5mi)

Here is were the Twister Trail used to be accessed from, but today that trail is on private land and blocked from public access. The other end of Twister was accessed from Rock Bottom (also now on the same private land) a wash that breaks off from Old Black Canyon Highway / 9998.

You once could cross the Aqua Fria river just past this point, but it is currently blocked by the private property owner, just on the other side.

This area is a section of private road that also requires crossing the shallow Agua Fria River. A gate blocks a side road that heads to the old mining town of Gillett which was once part of the Old Black Canyon Highway. Unfortunately in early 2016 the private property owners blocked off this section of the road indefinitely; unless the access dispute can be resolved between them and the BLM and Arizona Fish and Game Department. You can still access both ends of the trail via the connecting trail Little Pan Mine Road.
