The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has reopened Russell Sage Wildlife Management Area (WMA).
Water levels in associated river and drainage systems have receded enough to allow traffic on roads throughout the WMA. Interior access roads have been inspected and are safe for travel.
Russell Sage WMA is located in Morehouse, Ouachita, Richland, and Caldwell parishes and is approximately seven miles east of Monroe and ten miles west of Rayville.
For more information on this WMA, go to http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wma/2777 or contact Lowrey Moak at 318-343-4044 or lmoak@wlf.la.gov.
