Yancey Wildlife Management Area (WMA), including Shell Road, Moreau Lake Road, East Fence Line ATV trail, Landry ATV trail, Alligator Bayou ATV Trail, Cabin ATV Trail, Sand Levee ATV/UTV Trail and Sand Levee Handicap Trail.
 
Other roads and trails could possibly be closed on the WMA as water continues to rise.
