The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is advising Richard K. Yancey Wildlife Management Area users that Hogpen Lake Road, Lac-A-Sostien Road, Goose Lake Road, Blount Road, Catfish Bayou Road, and Ross Road from the Crowfoot to Long Bayou, are once again open to vehicle traffic. Dobbs Bay Road and all roads on the east side of the Mississippi River levee remain closed at this time.
Increasing water levels in associated river systems had caused backwater flooding on these thoroughfares. Once the water recedes, LDWF will inspect Dobbs Bay Road and all roads on the east side of the Mississippi River levee and reopen those thoroughfares when deemed safe for travel.
Richard K. Yancey WMA is located approximately 35 miles south of Ferriday on Louisiana Hwy. 15 in lower Concordia Parish.
