The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has closed Dobbs Bay Road to vehicle traffic at the Richard K. Yancey Wildlife Management Area (WMA) due to flooding. Water levels have increased on Dobbs Bay Road due to recent heavy rainfall.
Other roads on the WMA will remain open. Dobbs Bay Road will reopen to traffic once waters level fall to acceptable levels and necessary repairs are made.
Richard K. Yancey WMA, which consists of 70,872 acres, is located approximately 35 miles south of Ferriday on Louisiana Highway 15 in lower Concordia Parish.
