Louisiana Highway 106 (LA 106) is a state highway located primarily in Evangeline Parish that runs 24.2 miles (38.9 km) in a west–east direction from LA 10 east of Oakdale to LA 29 south of Bunkie. Along the way, LA 106 passes through the towns of Pine Prairie and St. Landry and intersects U.S. Highway 167 (US 167). Near the east end of its route, LA 106 passes through an interchange with Interstate 49 (I-49) between Opelousas and Alexandria in the southwest corner of Avoyelles Parish.
From the west, LA 106 begins at an intersection with LA 10 3.2 miles (5.1 km) east of Oakdale at a point known as Beaver. It proceeds in a general eastern direction along Beaver Road for 8.6 miles (13.8 km), making a long curve to the south and back to the east for much of the distance. It then skirts the northern border of Pine Prairie briefly and intersects LA 13 (Veterans Memorial Boulevard), which heads to Mamou on the south. LA 106 turns north and travels in a concurrency with LA 13 for less than a mile. At a four-way intersection, LA 13 continues north to Turkey Creek where it connects with US 167 to Alexandria; LA 3187 (Crooked Creek Parkway) begins to the west; and LA 106 turns to the east. After heading in a general northeast direction along St. Landry Highway for 4.5 miles (7.2 km), LA 106 reaches a point known as Bayou Chicot. Here it intersects US 167 which, apart from its aforementioned northerly destinations, heads south to Ville Platte, the seat of Evangeline Parish.
