The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LWF) has closed Dobbs Bay Road, Blount Road, Lac a’ Sostien Road and all roads within the Mississippi River levee batture area to vehicle traffic at the Richard K. Yancey Wildlife Management Area (WMA) due to flooding.
While the WMA will remain open, users are asked to comply with road and ATV trail closures. Increasing water levels in associated river systems and heavy rainfall has caused flooding on this thoroughfare. Once the water recedes, LDWF will inspect, repair and reopen thoroughfares.
Richard K. Yancey WMA is located approximately 35 miles south of Ferriday on Louisiana Highway 15 in lower Concordia Parish.
