The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has closed Muddy Bayou Road from Deville Crossing to Nolan Bayou Road at Dewey W. Wills Wildlife Management Area (WMA) to replace damaged culverts.
The public can still access Muddy Bayou boat launch and Nolan’s Bayou Road via Hunt Road. The new culverts will increase drainage capabilities during large rainfall events thus improving roadway conditions for WMA users. Notification will be made upon project completion and road opening.
Dewey W. Wills WMA is located in the southern portion of LaSalle and Catahoula parishes in central Louisiana approximately 20 miles northeast of Alexandria.
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.
