Jan. 24, 2020 – The western half of the Island Road Boat Launch parking lot on Pointe-aux-Chenes Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is closed due to construction, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) announced.
About 200 feet of the parking lot on the western half is being used as a staging area for construction equipment and supplies for five new fishing piers being built along Island Road. The entire boat launch will be closed in April of 2020 for renovation of the launch.
These projects are being constructed with funds from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Settlement through the Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group (LA TIG).
Pointe-aux-Chenes WMA is located about 15 miles southeast of Houma in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes. For more information on the WMA, go to http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wma/2790.
