Route Description
NY 392 begins at an intersection with NY 13 and NY 38 in the village of Dryden. The road quickly leaves Dryden, heading eastward through Tompkins County. NY 392, known as Virgil Road, turns to the southeast quickly before turning to the northeast. The area NY 392 passes through is mostly rural, consisting largely of cultivated farmlands. After 2 miles (3.2 km), NY 392 passes into Cortland County.
Now in the town of Virgil, NY 392 intersects with County Route 127A (CR 127A, named West Meeting House Road), a spur route of NY 392's predecessor, CR 127. It continues northeast, intersecting CR 128 (Owego Hill Road) before entering the hamlet of Virgil. Here, it turns eastward at an intersection with NY 215 and CR 125 (West State Road). Past Virgil, it continues on an easterly routing for 2 miles (3.2 km) before curving to the southeast. After another 4 miles (6 km), the route turns to the north as it enters the community of Messengerville. Once in Messengerville, NY 392 ends at a junction with US 11 just west of Interstate 81.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
