The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has closed several roads on the Richard K. Yancey Wildlife Management Area due to flooding. The roads include Hog Pen Lake Road, Dobbs Bay Road, Goose Lake Road, Ross Road, Hooper Road, Lac A’Sostein Road and all roads on the east side of the Mississippi River Levee within the WMA.
Once the water recedes and necessary repairs have been made to restore roads to safe condition, roads will be reopened.
Richard K. Yancey WMA is located in Concordia Parish, approximately 35 miles south of Ferriday on Louisiana Hwy. 15.
