Route description
"Beginning at Reggio, through Bencheque Village to De La Croix Island." - 1924 Louisiana Legislative Route Description
From the south, LA 62 began in the small community of Delacroix (officially Delacroix Island), and headed north through swamps and marshes. It crossed a few canals, including Reggio Canal, following the path of Bayou Terre aux Boeufs until its northern terminus at LA 32. LA 32 then continued either east to Lake Borgne and Shell Beach, or west to LA 1 and Chalmette.

The entire highway is in Saint Bernard Parish.
