Jan. 15, 2020 - The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has closed several roads in the Richard K. Yancey Wildlife Management Area (WMA), including Lincecum, Jacks Bayou, Union Point, Blackhawk, Blackhawk boat launch and Dobbs Bay roads to all traffic due to flooding. Other roads and trails could be closed as water continues to rise.
Increasing water levels in associated river systems and heavy rainfall has caused flooding on these roads. Once the water recedes, LDWF will inspect, repair and reopen the roads when deemed safe for travel.
Richard K. Yancey WMA is located approximately 35 miles south of Ferriday on Louisiana Highway 15 in lower Concordia Parish. For more information, go to http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wma/36994.
