County Route 26 is the designation for New Suffolk Road from Mattituck to New Suffolk, and New Suffolk Lane from New Suffolk to Cutchogue. However this designation was proposed to be relocated to the formerly proposed North Brookhaven Expressway, a former eastern extension of NY 347 from Mount Sinai to Wading River.
- Route description
CR 26 begins at NY 25 just southwest of the eastern terminus of Sound Avenue. It begins as New Suffolk Avenue, which is surrounded mostly spares houses and farmland. The road passes by the south side of Marratooka Pond, and then the north side of Mattituck Airport. The road then crosses Deep Hole Creek then Downs Creek before passing south of the North Fork Country Club.
In New Suffolk, CR 26 is lined with houses as it approaches the intersection of Fifth Street and Main Street, and immediately turns north onto Fifth Street. Main Street continues east toward the Cutchogue Harbor, while Southbound 5th Street continues toward Great Peconic Bay north of Robin's Island. 5th Street is paved with old concrete, compared to New Suffolk Lane. At Orchard Street Fifth Street becomes New Suffolk Road where it then passes the New Suffolk Shipyard.
As CR 26 intersects with George Road it enters Cutchogue. Eventually it passes by some farmland as it takes a slight reverse curve to the left then returns north. The farmland surrrounding the road is replaced by early 20th century houses once again. Residential zoning ends at the Cutchogue Fire Department and the road finally ends at NY 25.

Famous quotes containing the words county and/or route:
“I know this well, that if one thousand, if one hundred, if ten men whom I could name,—if ten honest men only,—ay, if one HONEST man, in this State of Massachusetts, ceasing to hold slaves, were actually to withdraw from this copartnership, and be locked up in the county jail therefor, it would be the abolition of slavery in America. For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
