Road closure in Grassy Lake WMA due to flooding

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has closed South Bayou Natchitoches Road from Bayou de Sot to Smith Bay in the Grassy Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA) due to flooding.

The North Bayou Natchitoches Road to Red River Bay will remain open through the weekend but could be closed early next week as water is expected to continue to rise.

While the WMA will remain open, users are asked to comply with road closures deemed necessary to ensure safety and prevent road damage. Once the water recedes, LDWF will inspect, repair and reopen those thoroughfares when considered safe for travel.

Grassy Lake WMA is located in northeastern Avoyelles Parish, approximately 12 miles from Bordelonville, Louisiana.
