Louisiana Highway 102 (LA 102) is a state highway located in Jefferson Davis Parish. It runs 35.4 miles (57.0 km) in a northwest to southeast direction from U.S. Highway 165 (U.S. 165) in Fenton to LA 26 north of Lake Arthur. The route is bannered west–east from Fenton to a point just east of the first junction with LA 26 at Hathaway. From this point to its terminus north of Lake Arthur, LA 102 travels in a north–south direction and is bannered accordingly. A largely rural route following section line roads, LA 102 passes through the city of Jennings in the southern portion of its route.
From the northwest, LA 102 begins at an intersection with U.S. 165 in Fenton between Iowa and Kinder. It proceeds east along a section line road known as Fenton Highway and immediately crosses the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. It then continues east for two sections to Manuel Road, curves south for two sections to Estes Road, and curves back east for another two sections to an intersection with LA 99 at Radio Tower Road. From this intersection, LA 99 heads south to Welsh, and LA 102 turns north, running concurrent with LA 99 along Chaisson Road. After one section, the two highways intersect LA 3086 at the latter's southern terminus. LA 102 and LA 99 then turn east onto Pine Island Highway and continue for three sections to Pine Island. The concurrency ends here as LA 99 turns north toward Lauderdale and LA 102 continues eastward. After two sections, LA 102 intersects LA 395 (Liberty Cemetery Road) which heads south to Roanoke. LA 395 turns east and begins a short concurrency with LA 102 that lasts for two sections at which point LA 395 turns north at Raymond toward Elton. LA 102 continues east for another two sections and intersects LA 26 at a point known as Hathaway. LA 26 also runs to Elton on the north. After one more section, LA 102 turns to the south and parallels LA 26 to Jennings. Its bannering likewise changes from west–east to north–south.
