The portion of North Bayou Natchitoches Road from the concrete bridge to Red River Bay will be closed to vehicle traffic in the Grassy Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA) due to flooding, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) announced.
 
The portion of Smith Bay Road from the Bayou de Sot Bridge to Smith Bay will remain closed and Cas-cas Road remains closed due to high water. Other roads will be closed in the WMA as water continues to rise.
 
While the WMA will remain open, users are asked to comply with road closures deemed necessary to ensure safety and prevent road damage. Once the water recedes, LDWF will inspect, repair and reopen those roads when determined they are safe for travel. 
 
Grassy Lake WMA is located in northeastern Avoyelles Parish, approximately 12 miles from Bordelonville. For information on this WMA, go to http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wma/2767 or contact Tony Vidrine at 337-735-8692 or tvidrine@wlf.la.gov or Steven David at 337-735-8683 or sdavid@wlf.la.gov.
