Louisiana Highway 566 (
LA 566) runs in a southwest to northeast direction from
US 84 at
Elkhorn,
Concordia Parish to a junction with
LA 568 and
LA 570 south of
Waterproof,
Tensas Parish. The route heads northward from US 84 and follows
Brushy Bayou for about . It then curves slightly northeast to a point on the
Tensas River known as
Dunbarton. LA 566 turns east and roughly follows the river into the town of
Clayton. Here, it intersects the concurrent
US 425 and
LA 15 at the foot of a twin bridge across the Tensas River. LA 566 curves to the north with the river and crosses from Concordia Parish into Tensas Parish. Soon after crossing the parish line, LA 566 intersects
LA 571, the route of which follows a semi-circle west of
Waterproof. LA 566 turns to the southeast at a second intersection with LA 571 and passes through
Troy to a point on
US 65 and LA 568 just southwest of Waterproof. LA 566 officially proceeds with LA 568 a short distance further to an intersection with LA 570, but this portion of the route is signed in the field only as LA 568. ==Louisiana Highway 567==
