Jan. 27, 2020 – The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) will close Sandy Bayou Road and Muddy Bayou Road at Dewey W. Wills Wildlife Management Area (WMA) to vehicular traffic once the water level on Larto Lake reaches 42 mean sea level (msl), which is expected today.
Those using Dewey W. Wills WMA will be permitted to access these roads with ATV/UTVs.
Increasing water levels in the Mississippi, Black and associated river systems will create backwater flooding on these roads. Road closures are implemented in the interest of public safety. Once the water recedes and conditions allow, the roads will be reopened to vehicular traffic.
Dewey W. Wills WMA is located in the southern portion of LaSalle and Catahoula parishes in central Louisiana approximately 20 miles northeast of Alexandria. For more information on the WMA, go to: http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wma/2753 .
