Route Description
Route 361 begins in the town center of Sharon, at an intersection with Route 41 (Gay Street) near Hillside Cemetery. It proceeds west on West Main Street then turns north on New Street, which later becomes Millerton Road. Millerton Road heads north and northwest through woodlands to the south of Mudge Pond. After intersecting with Mudge Pond Road, a local road running along the western shore of Mudge Pond, Route 361 turns west until it intersects Sharon Valley Road. At this intersection, Route 361 turns north, still following Millerton Road.
Route 361 continues north through woodlands with several residences following the western edge of Indian Mountain. Near the southern edge of Indian Lake, a bi-state body of water, the route intersects with Dakin Road, which heads west to the state line becoming Taylor Road, then continues north along the eastern edge of the lake, where several more residences are located. The highway turns northwest with the lake shore, passing by woodlands and residences, along with two unnamed driveways to local residences. There is also a cut in the nearby woodlands to the north. The road enters the town limits of Salisbury just before ending at the New YorkâConnecticut state line. On the New York side, Dutchess County Route 62 (Sharon Road) continues towards the village of Millerton.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
