Bayou Cocodrie National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1992, is located in Concordia Parish, Louisiana, 3.5 miles south of Ferriday, 10 miles southwest of Vidalia and 50 miles northeast of Alexandria, Louisiana.
The Nature Conservancy purchased an 11,255.51-acre core tract from the Fisher Lumber Company, a subsidiary of General Motors Corporation. The Conservancy then sold the land to the USFWS over a span of 5 years.
Cocodrie Bayou is designated as a state scenic river.
The bottomland hardwoods at Bayou Cocodrie NWR have been noted as some of the last remaining, least disturbed timber in the Mississippi River Delta.
