Clear Creek Wildlife Management Area
History
The land formally belonged to Forest Capital Partners, LLC, and was purchased, by Molpus Woodlands Group and The Hancock Timber Resource Group (Hancock Timber) in a 1.88 million acre land deal.
Location
The property is bordered on the north by LA 8 (west of Anacoco Lake) 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 (Texas–Louisiana). 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.
