New York State Route 260 - Route Description

Route Description

Heading north from NY 31, NY 260, named Sweden–Walker Road for the two communities it connects, proceeds to the north-northeast as a two-lane highway through a lightly developed area of the town of Sweden, crossing both the former right-of-way of an old Conrail line known as the Falls Road Secondary and the Erie Canal before entering the town of Clarkson. Across the town line, the surroundings become slightly more rural as the route approaches a junction with NY 104 (West Ridge Road) in the hamlet of Garland, located northeast of the village of Brockport and east of the hamlet of Clarkson. Continuing on its north-northeasterly path, NY 260 passes through areas of increasingly rural nature as it progresses through northern Clarkson.

At the northern town line, NY 260 intersects NY 18, which runs along the boundary between the towns of Clarkson and Hamlin at this point. NY 260 becomes Walker–Lake Ontario Road and takes on a more northerly alignment upon crossing into Hamlin. About one mile (1.6 km) into Hamlin, the route serves the small hamlet of Walker. Outside of Walker, NY 260 traverses large areas of farmland as it continues toward and eventually ends at the Lake Ontario State Parkway. While NY 260 terminates at the intersection with the parkway, the road itself continues north for an additional 0.25 miles (0.40 km) to the hamlet of Shore Acres on the Lake Ontario shoreline, where it ends at a dead end.
