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:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
