Was on the Creole Nature Trail on Monday and let me tell you the alligators were OUT! Stopped at Wetland Walkway and were two laying right by the entrance kiosk...swear they were even posing for the camera. Lots of baby gators out sunning...great time to be on the trail!

NOTICE: LA 384 at the Intracoastal Canal will be taken out of service on April 11, 2011, and will be out of service for approximately 8 weeks. The Grand Lake Pontoon Bridge will be going in for dry-docking as per US Coast Guard regulations. Motorists are advised to take the Black Bayou Pontoon Bridge to and from the Grand Lake Island while the bridge is closed.

Crabbing is always open. That said, usually catch a lot more when weather is warm and when moon is waxing towards or at full. With current weather (and anticipated to stay in 70's, possibly even 80's) for next week, bet you can catch at least a bucketful!

when does crabbing season open on the refugee at price lake road
