Used to hunt there and fish in the summer but was under the impression the Lake was leased for comercial fishing and you couldn't navigate it in a boat because it was considered private. Heard different opinions on this and looked for launches into Mud Lake but never found one. Have to assume it is closed to the public like more and more areas across Louisiana are becoming. All part of that BIG CHANGE we were promised. Gotta love that Ol' Tyme Government that just continues to keep on takin' care of us!!!
