LDWF to start drawdown on False River after Labor Day
NEW ROADS - The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will conduct a drawdown on False River starting September 3. The lake will be lowered 1.5 inches everyday to a maximum of 6 feet below the pool stage of 16 feet. The purpose of a drawdown is to improve the water quality, sport-fish habitation and reduce sediment. Residents have mixed feelings about the drawdown.
