The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has reopened Muddy Bayou and Sandy Bayou Roads on Dewey W. Wills Wildlife Management Area (WMA).  All roads that are normally accessible on this Wildlife Management Area are now open, as floodwaters have receded to allow for repairs and safe navigation.

Dewey W. Wills WMA is located in the southern portion of LaSalle and Catahoula parishes in central Louisiana, approximately 20 miles northeast of Alexandria.

Available game species on Dewey W. Wills WMA include deer, squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, waterfowl, and woodcock.

All visitors to Dewey W. Wills WMA and all LDWF WMAs must have either a WMA Access Permit, Senior Hunting/Fishing License, Louisiana Sportsman’s Paradise License, or Lifetime Hunting/Fishing License.
