The park is closed to the public and will be evacuated. Reservations through April 13 will be canceled.

"We are committed to assisting with needed services and facilities during this public health crisis," said Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser. "While we understand that this will inconvenience visitors with reservations at this park, the greater mission right now is to do everything possible to get this virus under control."

All other Louisiana State Parks are open and operating normally, according to the Office of State Parks.
