The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is informing outdoorsmen and women that Sandy Bayou Road and Muddy Bayou Road (Deville Crossing to Nolans Bayou Road) within Dewey W. Wills Wildlife Management Area (WMA) are currently closed to all traffic.
 
Increasing water levels in the river system has caused backwater flooding on these roads.  Once the water recedes, vehicular traffic will be allowed.
 
Dewey W. Wills WMA is located in the southern portion of LaSalle and Catahoula parishes in central Louisiana approximately 20 miles northeast of Alexandria.
