The Middle Branch Croton River is a tributary of the Croton River in Putnam and Westchester counties in the state of New York . It lies within the Croton River watershed and is part of the New York City water supply system 's Croton Watershed .
139-638: The rivers headwater is a small pond at the intersection of Horsepound Road and NY State Route 52 about one mile north of the hamlet of Lake Carmel in the far central eastern part of the town of Kent in Putnam County. It is shortly joined by a small stream, then runs into manmade Lake Carmel , one of the few sizable bodies of water in the Croton River watershed that is not part of the New York City water supply system . It drains out due east midway along
278-558: A National Historic Landmark . NY 52 bends southward, where Canal and Center Streets merge, taking the latter's name. At the village line, it becomes Mountain Avenue. Over the next three miles (4.8 km), NY 52 climbs over a thousand feet (300 m) to the crest of the Shawangunk Ridge . This section offers several overlooks on the west side with views of the Catskills to
417-406: A 41.8-mile (67.3 km) stretch with no concurrencies, the longest on NY 22, New York's longest east–west route (US 20) overlaps with its longest north–south route (NY 22) for a mile before the former continues to Pittsfield and the latter returns to the border-paralleling course, which takes it into Rensselaer County . As NY 22 continues north, it remains, at first, within
556-590: A commercial strip mall section of Liberty, south of the Grossinger Country Club. Now on the Catskill Plateau , at elevations over 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level, the route becomes rural again. Two and a half miles from Route 17 it bends northeast into the town of Fallsburg near a junction with CR 51 (Hilldale Road). Turning southeast again, NY 52 soon reaches a junction with CR 105 (Divine Corners Road). Turning southeast further,
695-594: A commission "to regulate, grade, widen, gravel, and improve the old White Plains Post Road", which was amended in 1870 to "macadamize the road" between Mount Vernon and White Plains. The post road south of Mount Vernon, which was part of New York City, was later widened between 1902 and 1908. State highways were first formally defined by the state legislature in 1909 and given numeric designations, although these initial designations were not publicly signed. Portions of modern NY 22 were defined as part of legislative routes 1 and 22. Legislative route 1 went from
834-450: A county-maintained roadway. Now co-designated as CR 111, NY 52 bends northeast through Tusten, remaining a two-lane rural roadway as it climbs slightly out of the river valley. The surrounding landscape is mostly forested, with occasional farm clearings. A mile from that junction, NY 52 and CR 111 reach the small hamlet of Lava , crossing the northern terminus of CR 25 (Eckes Road). Continuing northeast out of Lava,
973-505: A couple of blocks, intersecting NY 3 (Cornelia Street) just a block west of its eastern terminus at that highway. After Boynton Avenue, the separate streets reunite and turns northwest just before it has its second and final exit with the Northway. Just after the exit, NY 374 begins along the westbound route as NY 22 turns to the north once again. The highway follows the railroad tracks into Beekmantown until it bears left at
1112-423: A divided four-lane commercial strip at this point. On the other side of US 9, NY 52 becomes Hopewell Avenue. It passes through some residential and less intensely commercial areas before leaving the village after a quarter-mile, still following a northeast heading. The next mile closely parallels both Fishkill Creek and Metro-North's infrequently-used Beacon Line . At the small hamlet of Brinckerhoff ,
1251-489: A ferry across Lake Champlain at Putnam when it was assigned as part of the renumbering. In between the two locations, the route utilized modern NY 9N, Montcalm Street, NY 22, and Wrights Ferry and Wrights roads. It was realigned in the early 1930s to continue east from Ticonderoga on what is now NY 74 to another ferry across the lake. NY 8 was altered again c. 1934 to follow NY 22 north from Ticonderoga to Crown Point, where it turned off
1390-413: A fork, trending further west to Beekmantown Corners, where another short local road, County Route 58, formerly NY 456 , comes to its western end. After crossing into the next town, Chazy , NY 22 bears left again at another fork to drift further to the west. The terrain around the road becomes increasingly wooded, with long unbroken stretches of pine, in the northern portion of the town. This
1529-564: A four-lane freeway before becoming a two-lane surface road after it cross the Croton's East Branch. NY 22 continues heading northeast along a narrow strip of land between the East Branch and Bog Brook reservoirs. It then resumes its northward heading, following a much straighter course than it had up to this point, on two lanes through wooded areas of the town of Patterson , where two local state highways, NY 312 and 164 , come in from

It follows first residential North Montgomery Street, which becomes South Montgomery Street at the Oak Street intersection, marked by a few small businesses. At the junction with Walker Street, NY 52 turns sharply eastward, becoming West Main Street while South Montgomery Street continues towards
1807-491: A junction with CR 115 (Browntown Road). At the second junction with Kelly Road, the route turns north for a half-mile (800 m), turning westward at Buff Road to reach the southern shore of Lake Huntington. The routes turn north along the western shore, entering the eponymous hamlet and reaching the eastern terminus of CR 116 . At this junction, CR 112 ends, and NY 52 becomes maintained as CR 113. CR 113 and NY 52 turn northeast briefly along
1946-542: A junction with Old South Plank Road. The landscape remains the same gently rolling countryside of worked fields it was between Walden and Pine Bush. The last two crossings of Tin Brook, a mile and a half (2.4 km) east of CR 85 precede a bend to the southeast. The woods on the side of the road increase here as NY 52 climbs slightly after the Catskill Aqueduct crosses a half-mile from that turn. In another half-mile,
2085-592: A major intersection with NY 35 . Two miles (3.2 km) north of that junction, NY 22 becomes parallel with I-684 into the Town of Somers and the hamlet of Goldens Bridge . On the other side of the Interstate, accessible via NY 138 , is the Goldens Bridge station on Metro-North Railroad 's Harlem Line , which begins a long parallel alignment with NY 22 at this point. The railroad's Purdy's station
2224-485: A mile (1.1 km) from Pecksville, with Mill Pond between it and the interstate, NY 52 crosses the Putnam County line. Immediately after crossing the county line, NY 52 enters the hamlet of Ludingtonville, part of the town of Kent . It consists of a few houses and some businesses, primarily gas stations that serve traffic from I-84's adjacent exit 58 for CR 40 (Ludingtonville Road). At that junction,
2363-582: A mile of Massachusetts, moving to the east to intersect with NY 43 in Stephentown . North of that junction, it begins to run through a deep, isolated, lightly populated valley in the New York section of the Berkshires . Wide curves take the road through the town of Berlin . NY 22 trends further west, then back east to where NY 2 crosses via an overpass at Petersburgh on its way to Petersburg Pass,
2502-541: A mile, NY 52 reaches its highest elevation east of the Hudson, 962 feet (293 m) above sea level, at the Mountain Top Road intersection. NY 52 turns southeast again and reaches the hamlet of Pecksville after a mile (1.6 km). There it has a staggered junction with CR 30 (Milltown Road on the south, then Holmes Road on the north). The route draws closer to I-84 and turns southeast. Three-quarters of
2641-559: A numbered route above the county level, US 209 (Main Street). The Shawangunk Ridge looms ahead. The route, on both Canal and Center, then crosses the village's downtown , 1,200 feet (370 m) lower than its peak at SCCC. In the residential section that follows the Sandburg Creek crossing, one of the cross streets, Towpath Lane, marks the former route of the Delaware and Hudson Canal ,
2780-433: A past division of NY 52 at this point. The second roadway remains in use from Woodruff Avenue to the village's eastern boundary. Past Walden, NY 52 passes several businesses, then Wallkill Valley Cemetery on the south. A mile west of there, just past another crossing of Tin Brook, CR 85 (St. Andrew's Road), leaves from the north. Past East Walden, the route becomes a two-lane rural road, bending southeast at
2919-431: A residential area as a two-lane surface road as it heads northeast from I-84. A quarter-mile (400 m) from the interchange, it enters the village of Fishkill , the last along its route. As Main Street, it soon becomes heavily developed, with businesses on both sides. Jackson Street, which soon becomes CR 34 , leaves to the north midway through the village. Downtown culminates in the intersection with US 9 ,

New York State Route 52 New York State Route 52 ( NY 52 ) is a 108.72-mile-long (174.97 km) state highway in the southeastern part of the state. It generally runs from west to east through five counties, beginning at the Pennsylvania state line in the Delaware River near Narrowsburg , crossing
3197-402: A second roundabout. At this junction, the route connects with an off-ramp from the eastbound NY 17 expressway, now also Interstate 86 . Paralleling NY 17, NY 52 continues south a short distance through an undeveloped area outside the village, then turns southeast to its actual exit with the freeway. At a junction with CR 175 (Old Route 17). NY 52 passes through
3336-499: A short causeway across the lake. It is a mile (1.6 km) back to I-84's exit 61 via NY 311, the last connection between the interstate and NY 52 although their routes still run parallel. NY 52 continues along the western shore of the lake for another mile. Just past its south end, it intersects with CR 45 (Towners Road). After turning southwest the route intersects CR 48 (Horse Pound Road). A thousand feet (300 m) south of that junction, NY 52 reaches
3475-455: A single intersection marks the very small commercial center of the hamlet of Orange Lake . Just past the hamlet, NY 52 turns southeast again at a junction with Monarch Drive and enters an area where woods screen residential neighborhoods off the route. It is paralleled on the north by Bushfield Creek , which drains Orange Lake. With both the creek and route going past a large hill on the south, NY 52 bends southeast again to cross under
3614-517: A slight descent heralds the Dwaar Kill crossing, the route remains a two-lane rural roadway through northern Orange County. A rise through a more wooded area culminates in the Montgomery town line at CR 17 (Fleury Road), where the landscape opens up again. Continuing straight southeast past farms and some newer subdivisions , the route reaches CR 14 ( Albany Post Road ). At Rider Road,
3753-401: A state-maintained highway. After crossing the Delaware town line, NY 52 bends east past a residential section around Pine Lake. At Mueller Road, NY 52 turns north and begins to run along the shore of Kenoza Lake . At the northern end of the lake, NY 52 reaches the hamlet of Kenoza Lake . The route turns northwest out of the small lakeside community, continuing north. Crossing
3892-460: A third route, US 6 , joins the concurrency just east of the village of Brewster , forming the only three-route overlap along NY 22. The three routes cross under a high, long bridge carrying I-84 , then veer east to an interchange with the north end of I-684. US 6 and 202 continue east for Danbury while NY 22 uses the northbound on-ramp of the I-684 roadway. NY 22 then briefly becomes
4031-557: A turn to the northeast, passing the Vernon Hills Shopping Center to the right. After leaving Eastchester, NY 22 continues north into the village of Scarsdale . Paralleling the Bronx River Parkway (BRP), enters Westchester's county seat , White Plains . NY 22 also intersects NY 125 and NY 119 in downtown White Plains, then bends to the northwest along North Broadway, eventually intersecting

4448-415: Is at Hillsdale , where NY 23 , the longest east–west state highway not to overlap with NY 22, intersects at a traffic light just east of downtown. At Green River, NY 71 , the state's shortest two-digit route, begins it short eastward course into Massachusetts. NY 22 then crosses into Austerlitz , where the surrounding terrain becomes much more wooded and the valleys become narrower. In
4587-530: Is briefly broken at another western terminus of a short local road, County Route 23, formerly NY 191 , in the hamlet of Sciota. NY 22 continues past Sciota in a fairly straight north-northwesterly course through more woods with small home and farm clearings. Those yield to mostly fields just before the Great Chazy River , after which NY 22 enters the hamlet of Mooers . NY 22 comes to an end upon intersecting US 11 . The road
4726-506: Is celebrated and described in Benjamin Swett 's 2007 photographic travelogue, Route 22 . The road from the modern-day Bronx (then part of Westchester County) through White Plains to Bedford and points north was originally an old Native American path. This path was later used and widened by the first European settlers. During colonial times, the road was known as "the road to Bedford and Vermont". Further north, near Lake Champlain,
4865-618: Is the inflow for Lake Champlain . The lake's South Bay, which the road crosses immediately after this turn, is also the Blue Line . NY 22 has now entered the Adirondack Park , the 6.1-million-acre (25,000 km ) Forest Preserve and National Historic Landmark , and the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States . Within the park, NY 22 mainly follows the lakeshore, closer to some of its more populated areas. It climbs through rock cuts as it meanders north on
5004-414: Is the northern terminus of NY 302 (Maple Avenue). Known as Main Street, NY 52 crosses southeast through downtown Pine Bush for its next half-mile (800 m). The countryside beyond is primarily farms with some woodlots, the gently rolling terrain offering views north to the upper Shawangunks. Three-quarters of a mile past Pine Bush, CR 89 (Hill Avenue) forks off to the southeast. Afterwards
5143-595: Is today Route 52 was built as private turnpikes in the early 19th century. After their operating companies folded later in the century, the state took over the roads in the 1890s. While some portions of today's Route 52 were included in New York's first designations of state highways, it was not until a 1930 renumbering that Route 52 took that number. At that time it followed most of its present alignment, but continued east of its present terminus to NY 22 . The truncation to its junction with US 6 in Carmel came later in
5282-726: The Appalachian Trail crosses the road next to the line's similarly named station . NY 22 and NY 55 continue their long curve into the town of Dover , past the Harlem Valley–Wingdale station next to the road across from the now-closed buildings of Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center . The NY 55 concurrency ends when that road forks off east towards Connecticut at the hamlet of Wingdale . The road continues through Dover Plains and into Amenia , where an overlap with NY 343 begins. The railroad line ends at Wassaic . NY 343 remains joined with NY 22 into
5421-619: The Cross Westchester Expressway ( Interstate 287 or I-287). The White Plains Rural Cemetery is visible to the west as NY 22 continues northward out of the city. In North White Plains , the surrounding area becomes less developed as it goes over a gentle rise from which a short connector runs downhill to the traffic circle where the BRP ends and the Taconic State Parkway begins, just south of Kensico Dam . While
5560-527: The East Branch of Callicoon Creek , which it will follow to its source , NY 52 passes the southern end of Stone Arch Bridge Historic Park. After the bridge, NY 52 reaches the eastern terminus of NY 52A . NY 52 turns northeast along the creek, soon turning northward. The surrounding valley is now mostly cleared farmland. Two miles (3.2 km) from the NY ;52A junction, NY 52 reaches
5699-660: The Grand Concourse (then overlapped with NY 100 ), crossing into Manhattan via East 149th Street to the 145th Street Bridge . In Manhattan, the NY 22/100 concurrency continued south along Lenox Avenue , 110th Street , Fifth Avenue , 96th Street , and Park Avenue , ending at Houston Street ( NY 1A ). By 1941, the alignment within Mount Vernon was shifted east to use Columbus Avenue and South 3rd Avenue (current NY 22), continuing its route to New York City via East 233rd Street as before. On January 1, 1970,

5838-527: The Hudson Highlands also visible. The route winds southeast and levels out at the hamlet of Walker Valley , having descended 910 feet (280 m) from the heights of the ridge. Just southeast of Walker Valley, NY 52 crosses a junction with CR 65 (Weed Road). The brief breaks in the forest cover from the hamlet end. A mile beyond, NY 52 turns east, then bends northeast. At Verkeerderkill Park, CR 7 (Burlingham Road), merges in from
5977-629: The Hudson River on the Newburgh–;Beacon Bridge , and ending in Carmel . NY 52 and NY 55 , both major east–west routes of the Mid-Hudson Region , run parallel to each other, intersecting in downtown Liberty . With the exception of the section overlapping Interstate 84 (I-84), most of Route 52 is a two-lane road through lightly developed rural areas. The road west of
6116-492: The Neversink River . Immediately east of that bridge, NY 42 turns north toward Grahamsville , ending the brief concurrency. NY 52 turns southeast past Woodbourne Correctional Facility to the south, over the south side of a small unnamed hill and then into Ulster County approximately one mile to the east. Now in the town of Wawarsing , NY 52 bends southeast into an area that remains heavily forested along
6255-670: The New York City watershed in the northern suburbs of the city, to dairy farms further upstate in the Taconic and Berkshire mountains, to the undeveloped, heavily forested Adirondack Park along the shores of Lake Champlain . An 86-mile (138 km) section from Fort Ann to Keeseville is part of the All-American Road known as the Lakes to Locks Passage . The oldest portions of today's NY 22, in Westchester County and along
6394-634: The New York State Thruway ( I-87 ). A commercial strip begins shortly after the Thruway, continuing a half-mile past it to the junction with NY 300 (Union Avenue) at the center of the hamlet of Gardnertown . The strip continues another half-mile to the Powder Mill Road where the route runs along the southern side of Algonquin Powder Mill Park , where it becomes residential again. In
6533-425: The hamlet of Narrowsburg in the town of Tusten as the two-lane Bridge Street. After crossing over Norfolk Southern 's Southern Tier Line , NY 52 and CR 24 pass St. Francis Xavier Cemetery and then leave the center of Narrowsburg, merging with NY 97 south of Feagles Lake. County maintenance ends at this point. The two routes soon bend eastward to a junction where NY 52 turns northward on
6672-530: The village of Montgomery via CR 29 . Immediately following this turn, NY 52 crosses the Walden Veterans' Memorial Bridge over the Wallkill River , entering the center of Walden. Conspicuous here is the brick tower of Walden United Methodist Church . After several blocks, West Main reaches an intersection with local Bank Street on the north, NY 208 (Ulster Avenue) ahead, and Main Street to
6811-595: The "Duke's Trees angle", the westernmost point in Connecticut , after which NY 22 becomes a four-lane divided expressway. For the first time, NY 22 runs parallel to New York's eastern border, intersecting I-684 for the first of several times just north of the short portion of that highway in Connecticut. A short distance later, NY 433 , one of the state's shortest highways, heads south from NY 22 into Greenwich . After that junction, NY 22 bends back to
6950-597: The 1930s, along with an exchange of alignments between routes 52 and 216 . When the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge was opened in the early 1960s, Route 52 was rerouted onto I-84, bypassing a route to the ferry landings in Newburgh and Beacon. The alignment to I-84 in the latter city is today Route 52 Business. A little over half of NY 52's total mileage is in Sullivan County , due to its circuitous route in
7089-643: The 370-mile (600 km) route that existed until 2008. The segment of old NY 22 between Austerlitz and Valatie was renumbered to NY 203 . In 1934, at the insistence of the Automobile Club of New York, several numbered routes were extended and signed within New York City , with NY 22 among them. It was extended south from the Mount Vernon line in the Bronx along White Plains Road , then following East 233rd Street to Webster Avenue until Fordham Road ( US 1 ). From there, it continued south along
SECTION 50
#17328687229397228-524: The Boston Post Road in Bronxdale, with the road to Boston heading east and the road to White Plains heading north. The old White Plains Post Road roughly followed the alignment of modern-day White Plains Road , which was laid out in 1863. (The original post road was to the east of the modern-day avenue). The White Plains Post Road continued north through Olinville , Wakefield , and Mount Vernon , where
7367-665: The Bronx , where the entirety of the highway within the borough is maintained by the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT). In Westchester County , NY 22 is mostly locally maintained within the city of Mount Vernon and is county-maintained within the city of White Plains . In Clinton County , the route is locally maintained within the city of Plattsburgh . During its course, NY 22 intersects or runs concurrently with 46 other designated routes: one state parkway , five Interstate Highways , and seven U.S. Highways not counting its own termini. Of

East of the Hudson, it closely parallels I-84 after leaving it at the village of Fishkill . It once passed through the cities of Newburgh and Beacon , following a ferry between them, but since the bridge's construction Route 52 runs concurrently with I-84 just to their north. Much of what
7645-466: The I-684 roadway at exit 10 (the northern terminus of I-684) and connects to the surface road on the opposite side of the Croton River via the NY 981B connector. South of Copake Falls , the state also still maintains an old alignment designated as NY 980F. North of Copake Falls, the northern half of the original alignment was designated as an extension of NY 344 . The segment of NY 22 north of US 11, named Hemmingford Road,
7784-539: The Lake Champlain shoreline, were Native American trails. Dutch , and after them English, settlers continued to use the road to get their farm products to market, with the southernmost portion eventually becoming the White Plains Post Road in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the early 20th century, as automobile use became widespread, the state paved the more heavily used sections and built new roads to create
7923-524: The Little Au Sable River crossing, NY 22's other suffixed route, NY 22B, branches off further inland. NY 22 continues north of Peru, and returns to the Northway's side again in a mile. After another five miles (8.0 km), it has its first exit on the Northway near the now-closed Plattsburgh Air Force Base . It continues northeastward, crossing the Saranac River into Plattsburgh ,
8062-709: The NY 22 designation was removed from Manhattan and most of the Bronx, and the short piece remaining in the city was realigned to meet US 1 at NY 22's current southern terminus. In the original plan for the U.S. Highway System , as approved by the Bureau of Public Roads in November 1926, US 7 was defined as beginning in New York City and designated on the alignment of NY 22 to Amenia , where it shifted northeast into Sharon, Connecticut , to use old New England Route 4 through Massachusetts and Vermont all
8201-815: The New York City line north along the White Plains Post Road to White Plains, then detoured to Harrison (via Westchester Avenue), before proceeding north to Armonk (via modern NY 120 ). Legislative route 1 continued north along modern NY 22 to Austerlitz, where it then turned northwest to Valatie (via modern NY 203 and NY 980B), then followed US 9 to Albany. Legislative route 22 had two segments. The southern segment began in Troy, following NY 7 to Hoosick, then went north along modern NY 22 up to Putnam Station (south of Ticonderoga). In 1924, New York signed several major state roads with route numbers. Most of Legislative Route 1
8340-401: The New York state line. Almost all of NY 22 is a two-lane rural road through small villages and hamlets. The exceptions are its southern end in the heavily populated Bronx and lower Westchester County , and a section that runs through the city of Plattsburgh near the northern end. The rural landscape that the road passes through varies from horse country and views of the reservoirs of
8479-531: The Taconic State Parkway continues along the northwest heading NY 22 had been following, NY 22 itself veers to the northeast along the reservoir's south shore, becoming a four-lane undivided expressway . After crossing a small bridge over one of the reservoir's bays, NY 22 begins a thousand-foot (300 m) concurrency , the first of 15 along its length, with NY 120 . The combined roads pass just west of IBM 's Armonk headquarters and

A short distance later, NY 22 intersects with NY 203 at its eastern end. NY 22 then veers sharply to the northeast, resuming a northward direction within 150 feet (46 m) of the state line,
9035-508: The current highway, first designated as NY 22 in 1930. In its early years the highway began in Manhattan ; until 2008 its northern end was the Canadian border. NY 22 starts as an urban surface road, passing through the most populous communities along its route within its first 15 miles (24 km). After running northerly from its origin in the Bronx it veers slightly to the northeast in
9174-465: The east–west course it takes across northern New England. As NY 22 bends westward after leaving Whitehall, it rounds the north end of the ridge to the west, offering views into Vermont. Once again the Vermont state line is very near NY 22, but now it is separated from New York by water instead of land. The stream at the bottom of this valley, surrounded by the low lying Drowned Lands flood plain ,

The two routes overlap for almost two miles (3.2 km) until NY 74 goes straight ahead at the intersection with NY 9N , while NY 22 turns right to join NY 9N, the longest suffixed route in the state, and return to its northbound orientation for
9591-400: The first city and most populous community NY 22 has passed through since White Plains. NY 22 runs along South Catherine Street for a few blocks, then divides into one-way couplets for the first time since Westchester County, with northbound traffic moving a block to the east to follow Oak Street, while southbound traffic comes down North Catherine Street. It parallels US 9 for
9730-401: The hamlet of Kohlertown . Just north of Kohlertown, NY 52 reaches a junction with the terminus of CR 164 (Beechwood Road). One block later, CR 128 (Jeffersonville North Branch Road) forks off to the northwest. At this junction, NY 52 turns northeast and crosses the town line into Callicoon . Here, this is also the boundary of Jeffersonville , the first village along
9869-459: The hamlet of White Sulphur Springs , which it soon leaves after passing a local park. NY 52 continues winding southeast through a landscape with less farms and more forest, the surrounding hills growing increasingly higher and steeper. After passing south of the hamlet of Loomis, the route bends northeast again reaches the village of Liberty , the largest community thus far along NY 52. It turns due-east and follows Chestnut Street into
10008-517: The hamlet of Amenia , where it separates and heads towards Sharon, Connecticut . At the same junction, US 44 comes in from Millbrook to begin an overlap with NY 22. The valley opens up as the southern Taconics loom ahead. Shortly after crossing into the Town of North East , the highway passes by the large Coleman Station Historic District . After intersecting with NY 199 at its eastern end, NY 22 and US 44 veer northeast into
10147-556: The highway continues through a rolling landscape of fields and farms, the low transitional country between the Appalachians and the Adirondacks . Beyond NY 29 's eastern terminus at Greenwich Junction, NY 22 heads eastward again through 18 miles (29 km) of countryside until, just before reaching Granville , it comes within 0.5 miles (800 m) of the state line, the closest it has come to that boundary since Austerlitz. At
10286-554: The highway is 8 miles (13 km) from the state line, the farthest west it has gotten from it since southern Westchester County. The overlap with US 4, the first to pair NY 22 with another north–south route since the short concurrency with NY 120, lasts for seven miles (11 km) along the base of the Adirondack foothills between the low country and Lake George , before ending in Whitehall , where US 4 leaves to assume
10425-509: The highway onto Bridge Road (now NY 185 ). Route 8 remained intact along this routing until c. 1968 , when Route 8 was truncated southwestward to NY 9N at Hague . Over the course of many years, several sections of NY 22 were straightened, realigned to new roads, or both. Some old alignments are still either county-maintained or state-maintained. Several of these are in Dutchess County . In Dover Plains ,
10564-551: The highway's closest approach to it along its entire length. It then rounds a mountain and heads west, paralleling the New York State Thruway 's Berkshire section ( I-90 ) for a mile. NY 980D (an unsigned reference route) leaves to the east, where it becomes Massachusetts Route 102 at the state line. After Thruway exit B3, NY 22 resumes its northerly heading. From here it intersects NY 295 , then passes Queechy Lake . NY 22 then straightens out to reach New Lebanon , where it intersects US 20 . Ending
10703-428: The interchange, the route slowly curves back eastward through an area of residential side streets. Then NY 216 forks off to the northeast, leading to Green Haven Correctional Facility and the hamlet of Stormville . For the next half-mile (800 m) NY 52 passes through a more wooded area, then turns southeastward again. After another half-mile, the route turns due south and begins to climb steeply into
10842-432: The junction is Lake Gleneida , part of the New York City water supply system , the center of a park on that side of the route. A quarter-mile further on, at Reed Memorial Library , NY 52 ends at a three-way junction with US 6 . New York State Route 22 New York State Route 22 ( NY 22 ) is a north–south state highway that parallels the eastern border of the U.S. state of New York , from
10981-415: The junction with Hemmer Road, NY 52 bends northeast and soon eastward into the hamlet of Youngsville . There, it passes numerous residences, crosses over the creek and intersects the southern terminus of CR 149 (Shandelee Road). A half-mile west, the route crosses into the town of Liberty , slowly gaining elevation as the East Branch's valley narrows. Turning slightly southeast, NY 52 enters
11120-717: The lake then promptly heads strongly south for about three miles before spilling into Middle Branch Reservoir in the town of Carmel, New York . It then flows into the Croton Falls Reservoir immediately above the Westchester border, where it commingles with some waters of the East Branch Croton River flowing out of the Diverting Reservoir immediately to the east of the Croton Falls Reservoir and
11259-496: The lakeshore and ferry landing at Essex , where it connects to the Charlotte–Essex Ferry via Dock Street, leading to VT F-5 on the opposite side of Lake Champlain. The highway again follows the lakeshore to Willsboro , where NY 22 heads to the northwest again, inland, through dense forest, until it heads west and intersects US 9 in the town of Chesterfield , the other major north–south surface route up
11398-468: The last concurrency along the latter. The two will exchange corridors, with US 9 following the lake shore line while NY 22 remains mostly inland. NY 22 enters Clinton County just north of Keeseville, and then leaves Adirondack Park two miles (3.2 km) beyond at the Peru town line. Just south of the hamlet of Peru , the short NY 442 terminates at NY 22. In the hamlet itself, after
11537-442: The latter direction. After the exit, the routes narrow to four lanes again and bend northeast, passing Dutchess Stadium on the north. Prominent on a hilltop south of the road is Fishkill Correctional Facility . As the expressway bends eastward again, high chain-link fences with concertina wire surround the concrete buildings of another prison, Downstate Correctional Facility , on the north. Signs warn drivers not to stop due to
11676-619: The less developed western half of the county, where some segments are maintained by the county rather than the state. East of Liberty , the route takes a more direct course toward its highest elevation, in the part of the county that is more dominated by resorts and summer camps. NY 52 begins at the midpoint of the Narrowsburg–Darbytown Bridge over the Delaware River as a county-maintained continuation of PA 652 (Beach Lake Highway). Co-designated as County Route 24 (CR 24), NY 52 proceeds southeast through
11815-425: The longest of its concurrencies, at 25.5 miles (41.0 km). At first, NY 22 and NY 9N veer west, away from the lake, but then return to its shoreline to avoid a nearby mountain, just before Crown Point . NY 185 , a small connector road, runs from NY 9N and NY 22 along the peninsula to become VT 17 . The road remains close to the widening lake for the next 15 miles (24 km), with
11954-502: The longest portion of the highway in a single county. Almost immediately after the joined roads cross the line, NY 67 splits off to the west, crossing the Hoosick back into Rensselaer County, while NY 22 straightens out again to go due north. After four miles (6.4 km), it reaches Cambridge , where NY 313 forks off to the east. In the middle of town, NY 372 , a local connector to Greenwich , ends. North of Cambridge,
12093-570: The main Beer Kill, just outside Ellenville, NY 52 reaches a junction with CR 53 (Briggs Street). After re-paralleling, NY 52 continues southeast, reaching the terminus of CR 53 (Old Greenfield Road). Entering Ellenville, the largest village on the route since Liberty, NY 52 divides. NY 52 runs down both Center Street and Canal Street. A few blocks into the village, NY 52 has its only intersection in Ulster County with
12232-582: The narrowing isthmus between Lakes Champlain and George. Near the northern end, it crosses the Essex County line. Two miles (3.2 km) into the county, it reaches the first settlement along its length within the Adirondack Park, Ticonderoga . The highway skirts the northeastern edge of the village, the site of key battles in both the French and Indian and Revolutionary Wars, as NY 74 comes in from
12371-532: The nearby Hutchinson River Parkway as it passes through the suburbs of Bronxville and Tuckahoe . At Wilson Woods Lake, it crosses under a railroad bridge on the Metro-North New Haven Line and becomes North Columbus Avenue, then has its first interchange with a freeway at the Cross County Parkway . Country clubs on either side bracket NY 22's entry into Eastchester . It makes
12510-558: The next 10 miles (16 km) as it gradually descends off the Catskill Plateau to Ellenville . The route follows a straight course to the southeast past the small residential hamlet of Dairyland, passing a junction with CR 53A (Milk Road). Four miles (6.4 km) further east, it passes another similar small hamlet, Greenfield Park, and bends back to the east a mile after passing the north end of Windsor Lake. NY 52 leaves Dairyland, crossing southeast through Wawarsing into
12649-408: The next station , North Salem 's hamlet of Croton Falls . Just north of the hamlet, NY 22 crosses under the tracks, and is joined by US 202 . Immediately afterward, the road crosses back under the railroad again and enters Putnam County , following the Croton River north past the spillway of East Branch Reservoir . After paralleling the reservoir for almost two miles (3.2 km),
12788-419: The next year NY 30, a route assigned in 1924 that linked Mechanicville to Whitehall, was extended north from Whitehall to the Canadian border north of Mooers . In the 1930 renumbering , the NY 24 and NY 30 designations were both reassigned elsewhere. NY 22 was then extended north along their former routes, incorporating newly improved roads between Austerlitz and Stephentown , creating
12927-494: The north and northwest and the valley below. The route itself passes rock outcrops, some with fencing to prevent the road from being blocked off, and steep wooded slopes. Near the base of the climb aqua paint blazes on signposts at the roadside indicate the brief presence of the Long Path hiking trail. Near the top of the ridge, signs point north on CR 104 (Cragsmoor Road) to the hamlet of Cragsmoor , as NY 52 reaches
13066-489: The north in the middle of this mile-long stretch. Just after the park, CR 27 (Lime Kiln Road), a divided four-lane surface road, leaves to the south, connecting to I-84 at Exit 50. NY 52 turns more to the northeast for a half-mile, then bends slightly southeast past a swampy area that precedes the center of East Fishkill. Just before the small Gayhead Pond north of the route, NY 376 leaves, ultimately turning west towards Poughkeepsie . From that intersection
13205-509: The north just before crossing the Hoosic River . NY 22 follows the river for 2 miles (3.2 km) to Hoosick Falls , the first village it has passed through since Millerton. There are no other state routes here, but after another two miles (3.2 km), at North Hoosick, NY 67 comes in from the east and the two roads overlap as they leave Rensselaer County. The next 73 miles (117 km) of NY 22 traverse Washington County ,
13344-419: The north, paralleling I-684 as a two-lane surface road through the Westchester countryside of large wooded lots and houses well-screened from the road. In downtown Bedford , the first settlement since White Plains, the highway overlaps with NY 172 for a mile (1.6 km), its first concurrency with an east–west route, then veers back to the northwest at the center of town. Just to the north, NY 121 ,
13483-520: The north. It soon crosses the Westchester county line into Mount Vernon and becomes South Third Avenue, beginning a 30-mile (48 km) section in that county. Shortly after the county line, NY 22 makes a sharp turn to the east at the South Columbus Avenue intersection, soon passing St. Paul's Church National Historic Site on its north, then curving back to that direction. It parallels
13622-472: The north. The expressway widens to six lanes as it reaches the twin spans of the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) Hamilton Fish Newburgh-Beacon Bridge . Just before crossing over the Hudson River , the routes cross over the CSX West Shore Railroad . In the middle of the wide crossing of the river's Newburgh Bay , the routes enter Dutchess County . To the south the cities of Beacon and Newburgh frame
13761-665: The northern shore of the lake, then leaving it and continuing northeast through Cochecton. Farms begin to break up the forest cover around the road more extensively here. At the junction with Shortcut Road, NY 52 turns to the north, reaching a junction in a half-mile with NY 17B and the eastern terminus of CR 114 (Newburgh Turnpike). At this junction, the small hamlet of Fosterdale , NY 17B turns north and joins NY 52, which becomes state-maintained again. The routes continue northward for 2,000 feet (610 m), where they split. NY 17B turns northwest along CR 117; NY 52 bends northeast and soon northward as
13900-545: The northernmost crossing of the New York–Massachusetts state line. The next road to head east from NY 22, NY 346 at North Petersburgh, enters Vermont . Shortly afterward, the highway descends gently from the Berkshires to meet another major east–west state road, NY 7 . After turning northeast to join it at a traffic light, NY 22 overlaps with Route 7 for 1,500 feet (460 m), then forks off to
14039-549: The only north–south state highway whose route is entirely east of NY 22, forks off from its southern terminus. Another mile past that, NY 22 returns to a due-north heading, passing the John Jay Homestead State Historic Site a National Historic Landmark , where it turns west briefly, and Harvey School , where it curves to the northwest again. After the Katonah Museum of Art it widens briefly at
14178-624: The outskirts of New York City to the hamlet of Mooers in Clinton County near the Canadian border . At 337 miles (542 km), it is the state's longest north–south route and the third longest state route overall, after NY 5 and NY 17 . Many of the state's major east–west roads intersect with, and often join , NY 22 just before crossing into the neighboring New England states, where U.S. Route 7 (US 7), which originally partially followed NY 22's alignment, similarly parallels
14317-421: The overpass, NY 52 turns eastward down the onramp and merges with the interstate. The four-lane expressway is the only section of NY 52 not to be a two-lane surface road, and is its last and longest concurrency. The two routes follow the northern border of the city of Newburgh northeast and then east. At Exit 39, a mile and a half (2.4 km) from the merger, US 9W (Albany Post Road north of
14456-506: The parent route for some distance on the other side of the state line. Immediately after this junction, NY 22 begins a long curve away from the state line that has it running due west at the end of NY 40 in North Granville. It heads northwest a little further until, after passing between Great Meadows and Washington state prisons, it reaches US 4 and turns right to join it, resuming its northward course. At this point
14595-418: The proximity of both facilities. A mile and a half (2.4 km) further east, after passing through a rock cut and going over undulating terrain in a woody area, the routes turn southeast into Exit 44. Here NY 52 Business completes its loop from the south, and NY 52 leaves the interstate after 8 miles (13 km). It closely parallels I-84 for the remainder of its route. NY 52 passes through
14734-572: The residential hamlet of Greenfield Park and past Windsor Lake, the source of the West Branch of the Beer Kill , which it follows to Ellenville. East of the lake, the route bends northeastward for two more miles, crossing through some dense woods between steep hillsides and paralleling Old Greenfield Road. Both roads soon bend northward, as the woods recede to more residences. As the West Branch drains into
14873-572: The route bends southeast to cross them both as NY 82 continues northeast towards Hopewell Junction . Three-quarters of a mile (1.1 km) later, after bending around Honess Mountain, NY 52 crosses the East Fishkill town line at the hamlet of Wiccopee . It curves northeast again and soon passes the large IBM manufacturing facilities and the Hudson Valley Research Park on the south. CR 31 (Palen Road) leaves from
15012-399: The route continues east, then turns northeast after a half-mile. After another half-mile, NY 52 crosses under the Taconic State Parkway , its last junction with a limited-access route. Both entrance ramps to the parkway are on the south side of the route. A quarter-mile (400 m) from the parkway, CR 29 (Carpenter Road) forks off to the north. Over the mile (1.6 km) after
15151-406: The route is headed due south. It turns southwest briefly, then southeast again. The next 2.5 miles (4.0 km) run almost straight through wooded, hilly country, getting further east of the interstate. Eventually NY 52 reaches the west shore of a small northern bay of Lake Carmel , center of the residential community of that name . Shortly afterward NY 311 branches off to the east on
15290-557: The route now used by NY 22 was used by the St. Francis Indians of Canada as they went south to find warmer fishing areas. The old road was also used heavily during the American Revolution to transport iron south from the mines in the Adirondacks . Once White Plains became the county seat of Westchester in 1759, the road between the village and the city of New York (then encompassing only Manhattan ) became an important route and
15429-406: The route passes the northern entrance road Sullivan County Community College , the highest elevation on its entire length at 1,531 feet (467 m), and then descends to the hamlet of Loch Sheldrake . Crossing through the center of the hamlet, the route passes just south of the actual Loch Sheldrake, then reaches an intersection with CR 104 (Loch Sheldrake Hurleyville Road), the center of
15568-405: The route returns to its more easterly course as it enters the town of Newburgh and takes the name South Plank Road at the intersection with Old South Plank Road and Cooks Lane. After passing a swampy area in the woods to the north, NY 52 intersects CR 23 (Rock Cut Road), then runs through swamps along the southern shore of Orange Lake on an eastward heading. Immediately afterwards,
15707-626: The route shifted east to modern-day White Plains Post Road, going through Bronxville and Scarsdale to White Plains . The stretch from Salem to the Vermont border in Granville was part of the old Northern Turnpike , which began in Lansingburgh and went along modern-day NY 40 . The Northern Turnpike was chartered on April 1, 1799. In 1868, the New York State Legislature formed
15846-400: The route. NY 52 enters downtown Jeffersonville on East Main Street, with parking along both sides. It turns east at a junction with Center Street then bends southeast out of the village, following the northern shore of Lake Jefferson. Beyond the lake, the route bends northeast past a junction with CR 144 (Briscoe Road) then continues along the headwaters of the East Branch. At
15985-472: The small community. At the eastern end of the hamlet, the route passes north of Evens Lake. NY 52 turns east again, through increasingly wooded countryside, soon changing over to a commercial-residential road and running southeast for a short distance. The route soon bends northeast as it descends toward the hamlet of Woodbourne , where NY 42 joins Route 52 from the south. The two routes curve past residences to Woodbourne's small downtown, then cross
16124-477: The small village of Millerton in the northern protrusion of Dutchess County's Oblong, an area once the subject of a boundary dispute between New York and Connecticut in the late 17th century. US 44 continues eastward towards Lakeville, Connecticut , only a mile (1.6 km) east at this point, while NY 22 resumes its northward course into the shadow of the ridge ahead, where 2,311-foot (704 m) Brace Mountain , Dutchess County's highest peak, dominates
16263-487: The southeast. Here more cleared farmland begins to break up the forest. At the junction with New Prospect and Pirog roads, CR 7 turns off northeast, following the former. NY 52 turns southeast and, three-quarters of a mile (1.21 km) later, crosses the Orange County line at Shawangunk Kill . Across the bridge is the large hamlet of Pine Bush , part of the town of Crawford . NY 52's first intersection
16402-403: The southeast. It joins NY 208 on Main. The two routes fork a short two blocks later at Orange Avenue, which NY 208 follows toward Maybrook while NY 52 continues east as East Main Street. A quarter-mile (400 m) beyond, at the first of the route's several crossings of Wallkill tributary Tin Brook , the houses on the north side of the road start to have a deep setback , reflecting
16541-437: The southern leg of NY 22's junction with NY 343 is maintained by the state as NY 980G, a reference route . To the north in the town of Amenia , a 4.03-mile-long (6.49 km) loop off NY 22 between Wassaic and Amenia is designated as CR 81. Another former routing of NY 22 in the town of Dover exists as CR 6, a loop route between the hamlets of Wingdale and Dover Plains that runs along
16680-526: The state's eastern side. NY 22 and US 9 join, closely parallel to the Adirondack Northway ( I-87 ), the only other route in the state to directly connect New York City with Canada. The three routes, spread over many miles in the southern part of the state, run through a narrow corridor for two miles (3.2 km) until US 9 and NY 22 veer east again toward Keeseville . Here, NY 9N ends and US 9 and NY 22 separate, ending
16819-468: The surface road intersections, 18 terminate at NY 22 and 15 are concurrencies shared with the crossing routes, accounting for 72.6 miles (116.8 km), or 21.5% of the highway's total length. NY 22 starts as Provost Avenue at Interstate 95 (I-95) and U.S. Route 1 (US 1) in the Eastchester section of the Bronx , intersecting with East 233rd Street about 0.2 miles (320 m) to
16958-403: The town of Carmel . The route bends southward again, passing Raymond Hill Cemetery, then a large strip mall on the westbound direction. NY 52 follows Gleneida Avenue, the main street of the hamlet of Carmel , the county seat , with businesses on both sides. A mile from the town line, just across from the old county courthouse , NY 301 ends its journey from Cold Spring . Just past
17097-560: The tracks of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad , used today by CSX for freight and Amtrak for passenger service between New York and Montreal , sometimes immediately to the east. After passing through Port Henry to Westport , where 9N leaves heading west for Elizabethtown . Beyond that junction, NY 22 again turns inland, going through the easy pass around Split Rock Mountain, going northwest to Wadhams where it turns northeast to Whallonsburg , then north. At Boquet, it makes an abrupt turn to go 3 miles (4.8 km) due east back to
17236-519: The two routes continue past Beaver Pond and then descend into the Tenmile River valley. A short distance later, NY 52 crosses into the town of Cochecton , where CR 111 terminates and NY 52 becomes concurrent with CR 112. NY 52 continues northeast through Cochecton, reaching the hamlet of Cochecton Center . After passing through, NY 52 and CR 112 turn straight northwest for 0.8 miles (1.3 km) through Cochecton at
17375-468: The vicinity of a traffic circle near Kensico Dam before heading northward for good as a mostly two-lane rural route all the way to the state's North Country . The majority of NY 22's 337-mile (542 km) routing is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT); however, several sections are maintained by other jurisdictions. The southernmost of these is in
17514-478: The view. At another gentle curve, NY 22 slips into Columbia County and the town of Ancram . North of the county line, Massachusetts becomes the state behind Alander Mountain and the other peaks visible to the east. The southernmost route from New York to the Massachusetts state line, NY 344 , leaves for Bashbish Falls State Park just west of the hamlet of Copake Falls . The next major junction
17653-410: The village's south end, NY 22 intersects NY 149 and the two routes overlap for 400 feet (120 m) until Route 149 begins its short journey to Vermont. Just north of Granville, the first of NY 22's two suffixed routes, NY 22A , begins its route running closely parallel to the state line and then into Vermont, where it becomes Vermont Route 22A (VT 22A), paralleling
17792-454: The village. As the route becomes more commercial, NY 52 turns southeast at the intersection with North Main Street in the center of Liberty . Two village blocks later, NY 55 (Lake Street) joins it at the historic Munson Diner . The overlap goes to a roundabout 700 feet (210 m) to the east, where the two routes fork. NY 52 continues southeast along Mill Street, passing through an industrial section of Liberty before reaching
17931-525: The way to the Canadian border . Apparently New York did not approve this plan, and by mid-1927 the official route log published by the American Association of State Highway Officials had relocated the southern end of US 7 to Norwalk, Connecticut . In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York , the stretch from Ticonderoga to Keeseville now concurrent with NY 9N was designated solely as NY 22. The north end of NY 47
18070-492: The west bank of the Ten Mile River . Within the 44/22 concurrency, part of CR 5 (and its short spur 5S), a mile-long (1.6 km) loop west of the highway south of Millerton , is also a former alignment of NY 22. Before the construction of I-684 , NY 22 continued northeast along Sodom Road north of Brewster on what is now CR 50, a dead-end road maintained by Putnam County . Modern NY 22 joins
18209-549: The west. It joins NY 22 as the two routes, returning to two lanes, pass through the eastern fringe of the village of Pawling and then by Trinity-Pawling School . Past the village, the railroad tracks edge closer to the highway as NY 22 enters the scenic Harlem Valley, near the lower end of the Taconic Mountains . The road curves more gently and takes longer straightaways, with lower density of residential and commercial development. Two miles (3.2 km) from Pawling,
18348-436: The west. The highway gradually expands to three and sometimes four lanes as it passes through built-up areas of strip development. Shortly after intersecting a third state highway, NY 311 , and passing another strip plaza, NY 22 crosses into Dutchess County . After another supermarket strip to the east, a long, gentle divided bend in the road almost a mile long ends with an overpass where NY 55 comes in from
18487-437: The wetlands north of the route past the park, as the route bends around another hill to the south, Bushfield Creek flows into Quassaick Creek , which itself flows under NY 52 just above the now-drained Winona Lake south of the road. Here the route turns more to the south. Just after the junction with Fifth Avenue, a thousand feet past the lake, the route crosses over Interstate 84 at that route's exit 37. Just after
18626-599: The whole flow of the West Branch Croton River . These combined waters exit the Croton Falls Reservoir for a brief stretch of the West Branch alone, which joins the rest of the East Branch at the confluence of the Croton River proper in Croton Falls , a hamlet of the town of North Salem, New York , in northern Westchester County. 41°22′12″N 73°39′45″W / 41.3701°N 73.6626°W / 41.3701; -73.6626 This article related to
18765-468: The wooded foothills of the Taconic Mountains through a narrow creek valley. I-84 crosses overhead, on a very high overpass. A half-mile further on from that, the Appalachian Trail (AT) crosses the route. The route turns again a quarter-mile (400 m) from the AT to follow a more easterly course. The terrain levels out into a minimally developed area of small bumps and wetlands. After another three-quarters of
18904-525: Was also located at an intersection with NY 22 in Ticonderoga. At Westport, NY 22 connected to NY 195 , an east–west highway leading to Elizabethtown . At the time, Route 9N only extended from there to Keeseville. NY 9N was extended southward to Lake George c. 1936 , supplanting Routes 47 and 195 and becoming concurrent with NY 22 between Ticonderoga and Westport . NY 8 originally extended eastward from Hague to
19043-668: Was designated as NY 22, but with a direct route between White Plains and Armonk . Also, instead of continuing to Valatie, NY 22 initially ended at the NY ;23 intersection in Hillsdale . By 1929, the road to Valatie had been improved and NY 22 was extended to US 9, with a length of 139 miles (224 km). The middle section of modern NY 22 was designated in 1924 as NY 24, running for 75 miles (121 km) from Stephentown to Comstock . The portion of modern NY 22 north of Whitehall remained unnumbered in 1924 but
19182-571: Was established as the White Plains Post Road. Before 1797, the main road heading to points north and east out of Manhattan went via Kingsbridge along the old Boston Post Road . A new bridge over the Harlem River (the original Harlem Bridge ) was opened in 1797, shortening the route out of Manhattan.
