From the south, LA 35 begins at a junction with
LA 82 located just north of the
Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and an area known as
Forked Island. The route heads northward and crosses
LA 14 in the city of
Kaplan. North of Kaplan, LA 35 briefly overlaps
LA 92 to the west of
Indian Bayou. About later, LA 35 passes through the city of
Rayne, where it runs concurrent with
US 90 through the center of town. After US 90 departs to the east, LA 35 passes through a
diamond interchange with
I-10 (exit 87) at the north end of town. This interchange is followed immediately by a junction with
LA 98. Continuing northward, LA 35 passes through the rural community of
Branch en route to the town of
Church Point. The route zigzags through the center of town, overlapping the route of
LA 95. North of Church Point, LA 35 meanders into
St. Landry Parish and reaches its northern terminus at
US 190 in
Lawtell. ==History==
