Louisiana Highway 25 (LA 25) is a state highway located in southeastern Louisiana. It runs 38.72 miles (62.31 km) in a north–south direction from U.S. Highway 190 (US 190) in Covington to the Mississippi state line north of Warnerton.
The route extends from the Covington city limits through the rural hilly terrain beyond the New Orleans metropolitan area. It travels through northern St. Tammany Parish and traverses neighboring Washington Parish, connecting both parish seats: Covington and Franklinton, respectively. The only other incorporated area along the route is the small village of Folsom.
LA 25 generally runs parallel to the Bogue Falaya and Bogue Chitto rivers, crossing the latter via the Chess Richardson Bridge at Franklinton, which it shares with LA 10 and LA 16. In addition to those routes, LA 25 crosses several rural east–west state highways that traverse the Florida Parishes, including LA 40 in Folsom and LA 38 at Clifton. North of Franklinton, LA 25 crosses the state line and continues as Mississippi Highway 27 (MS 27) toward Tylertown.
