The entire route traverses the Sherburne Complex WMA, which is a combined Sherburne WMA, Atchafalaya National Wildlife Refuge, and Bayou Des Ourse,[3] managed by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

The short route actually runs south of Interstate 10 (I-10) a few miles and makes a loop.

The access road from I-10, exit 127 south, has been barricaded and thus the only direction of travel is north.

Continuing north, LA 975 begins to run between the Atchafalaya River, Little Alabama Bayou, and intersects with Happytown Road.

The Sherburne WMA headquarters is located on the old town site alongside the highway.
