The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) has opened a new boat ramp on Louisiana Highway 29 on the west side of I-49 at the Acadiana Conservation Corridor Wildlife Management Area (WMA).
Acadiana Conservation Corridor WMA spans approximately 26 miles of scenic easement along I-49 in St. Landry, Evangeline, Avoyelles and Rapides parishes.
The WMA can be accessed by boat only and archery deer hunting is the only type of hunting allowed. No other hunting or firearms are allowed.
All visitors to Acadiana Conservation Corridor WMA and all LDWF administered properties must have either a WMA Access Permit or a Senior Hunting/Fishing License, Louisiana Sportsman’s Paradise License or Lifetime Hunting/Fishing License. Go to https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/page/wmarefugeconservation-area-licenses-… for more information.
In a post on social media, State Senator Heather Cloud said, “We are very proud of this effort. Thanks to LDWF for coming out and touring the area with us and prioritizing the project. Special thanks to Police Jury Bryan Vidrine and our shared constituents for exposing both Representative Rhonda Butler and myself to the need. I’m honored to work with both of these amazing public servants.”
“Happy fishing, hunting and sightseeing to all,” she added.
