Hunting season runs September - February.  Use at your own risk.  To view hunting regulations and the Lake Red Rock Hunting Map, please visit the following link: https://www.mvr.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/Lake-Red-Rock/Recreation/Hunting/  Hard copies of the hunting map are also available at the Red Rock Visitor Center (brochure rack outside entrance door).
