Louisiana Highway 52 (LA 52) is a state highway located in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. It runs 2.74 miles (4.41 km) in a north–south direction along Paul Maillard Road from U.S. Highway 90 (US 90) and LA 633 in Boutte to LA 18 in Luling.
The route serves as the main north–south thoroughfare of Luling, located on the west bank of the Mississippi River, and connects it with US 90 at Boutte.
From the south, LA 52 begins at an intersection with US 90 (the future corridor of I-49) in Boutte. US 90 connects to New Orleans to the east and Houma to the southwest. Directly opposite the intersection is the northern terminus of LA 633 (Magnolia Ridge Road). LA 52 heads north on Paul Maillard Road, immediately intersecting LA 631 (Old Spanish Trail) and crossing the BNSF/Union Pacific Railroad tracks at grade. 0.9 miles (1.4 km) later, LA 52 crosses from Boutte into Luling, passing through a largely residential neighborhood with scattered businesses. After another 1.5 miles (2.4 km), LA 52 has another grade crossing with the Union Pacific Railroad. The highway ends shortly afterward at an intersection with LA 18 (River Road). LA 18 runs along the west bank levee of the Mississippi River and connects to the Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge on I-310, a distance of 0.8 miles (1.3 km) upriver.
