From the LDWF Website, Particular to Rockefeller:
''Non-compatible Uses
Along with hunting and commercial fishing, RWR considers other activities to be not compatible with the goals/mission of the refuge. Non-compatible uses include overnight camping, horseback riding, ATV riding, geocaching, commercial guiding/tours, swimming, and canoeing/kayaking on the refuge. The latter two are primarily for safety reasons due to the abundance of alligators and the potential for negative interactions with large alligators.''

I believe the bill has already been turned down. This is a post from LKFC:

"Congratulations! Our Legislature knows better... The bill was shot down in the floor of the house in a 30 something to 60 something vote. Louisiana takes another step in the 'nanny state' direction!"
