The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has closed turkey season at the Grassy Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA) due to high water levels from flooding.
 
Several roads have also been closed in the Grassy Lake WMA, including North Bayou Natchitoches Road, Bayou Natchitoches Road from the Bayou Des Sot Bridge to Smith Bay and Cas Cas Road.
 
The area is currently inundated with floodwater and water levels are forecast to continue to rise.
 
Increasing water levels in associated river systems have caused backwater flooding on these thoroughfares, resulting in unsafe travel conditions. Once the flood waters recede, road conditions will be assessed and necessary repairs accomplished prior to reopening to vehicular traffic. 
 
Grassy Lake WMA is located in northeastern Avoyelles Parish, approximately 12 miles from Bordelonville.
