State Takes Bids On Houseboat Sites
If you've always wanted to have a houseboat getaway you're about to get your chance.
Tuesday, July 31, 2013 The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will accept bids for houseboat mooring sites at Atchafalaya Delta Wildlife Management Area in St. Mary Parish. Bids will be opened at 10:30am.
If you're a successful bidder you will be awarded a five-season lease allowing you to moor your houseboat from Sept. 1 to March 15 each year. The department will provide mooring pilings at the lease site.
You will be able to use your houseboat as a base for hunting, fishing, boating and other activities.
