Indian Creek rec area to reopen

Indian Creek Recreation Area is set to reopen Thursday, Sept. 17, according to the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. The popular recreation area was closed Aug. 26 in preparation for Hurricane Laura, which ravaged parts of the state including Indian Creek.

“We are eager to see our visitors again. Indian Creek Recreation Area sustained a significant amount of tree damage and our staff has been working tirelessly to get the area cleaned up,” said Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry Mike Strain.

Indian Creek Recreation Area, located in Woodworth, offers primitive camping, RV sites with water and electricity, beaches, fishing in Indian Creek Lake and a children’s playground. Other amenities include bathrooms, laundry facilities, handicap parking, boat launch, canoe rentals, Wi-Fi (in RV area) and a covered pavilion which is available for rent. Indian Creek is managed by the LDAF.

In February, Indian Creek was the recipient of the Campground/RV Park of the Year award by the Louisiana Travel Association.
