Clear Creek Wildlife Management Area


Clear Creek Wildlife Management Area is a 54,269 acre tract of protected area located in Vernon Parish, Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries leases the land from Hancock Timber.

History

The land formally belonged to Forest Capital Partners, LLC, and was purchased, by Molpus Woodlands Group and The Hancock Timber Resource Group in a 1.88 million acre land deal.

Location

The property is bordered on the north by LA 8 and LA 111, that runs from Burr Ferry, through Evans towards Merryville, forms the western border, with the WMA crossing the highway in three areas in the southern half. The eastern and southern border is Bayou Anacoco that drains into the Sabine River. LA 464 runs diagonally northeast to southwest through the WMA.

Description

The WMA is planted predominantly with company timber land, criss-crossed by several parish roads, oil field roads, and other gravel roads, with a sand pit and logging pond on the property. There is what is now called a cultural lookout tower known locally as the Evans lookout tower, also referred to as the Evans fire tower.
