Route description

LA 413 begins at an intersection with LA 76 in West Baton Rouge Parish, and heads due north approximately 4.3 miles towards Erwinville. This stretch of LA-413 is locally known as Poydras Bayou Road. In Erwinville, LA LA-413 intersects US-190 near milepost 4.3 . It then proceeds north approximately 0.4 miles to an intersection with LA 620 near milepost 4.7 . The highway at this point is locally referred to still as Poydras Bayou Road, but also as "Snake Road" due to its sharp curves that follow Bayou Poydras.

LA 413 turns left and proceeds west through Jarreau, Louisiana, then north through Dupont, Louisiana, and then east to another intersection with LA-414 in Ventress, LA.
