LA 62 follows a slightly winding route from southwest to northeast, but it serves a generally north–south function and is bannered accordingly.

[2][3][4] Over the next 5.1 miles (8.2 km), LA 62 makes a long northeastern curve through an area of mixed pine forest and horse farms before intersecting LA 438, another route connecting to Thomas on the west.

Shortly after resuming its northeastern course, LA 62 reaches the Louisiana–Mississippi state line.

[3][5] All three routes were designated by the state legislature between 1928 and 1930[6][7] and remained in effect until the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering.

LA 62 was created in the 1955 renumbering, giving the Sheridan-State Line route a single highway designation.
