Sherburne Wildlife Management Area Camping Area Water System No Longer Available

Oct. 23, 2018 – The water supply system at the Sherburne Wildlife Management Area (WMA) main camping area is no longer available to the public, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) announced.

The system was discontinued because it does not meet regulatory requirements set forth by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals. Campers and other WMA users must bring their own water for drinking purposes, washing dishes, toiletry, etc.

Sherburne WMA is located in the Atchafalaya Basin, between U.S. Highway 190 and Interstate 10. The main camping area is located approximately three miles south of U.S. Highway 190, off Louisiana Highway 975 and approximately 13 miles north of Interstate 10.
