New York State Route 3 is a New York State Highway that runs from NY 104A in the Town Of Sterling to US 9 in The City Of Plattsburgh .


ROUTE DESCRIPTION


A long portion of NY 3 travels east-west across northern New York and passes through the northern part of the Adirondack Mountain Range . Much of this section of the highway is designated as part of the Olympic Trail Scenic Byway . From where it intersects New York State Route 264 to a location north of Watertown , NY 3 is signed as a south/north highway.

New York Route 3 begins at an intersection in Sterling with Route 104A., 2007 Route 3 quickly enters Hannibal and intersects with Route 104 . Route 3 then enters Fulton as it passes Lake Neatahwanta . Route 176 intersects in downtown Fulton as well as Route 481 . Whittaker Road leaves to the left soon after. Whittaker Road takes you to Oswego County Airport . Route 3 moves to the northeast and enters Palermo. Route 104 once again intersects with Route 3 in Mexico . Route 3 begins then to paralell Interstate 81 and U.S. Route 11 as it moves northward.

Route 104B intersects Route 3 just west of Texas, New York , in Ramona Beach. Route 3 continues north for a while, intersecting with county roads. Several miles later, Route 3 interchanges with Interstate 81 just before entering Waterford . In the towns of Karter, Woods Mill, and Fargo, Route 3 paralells the border of the Fort Drum Military Reservation . After a concurrency with Route 812 , Route 3 enters Adirondack Park . Route 3 then enters Tupper Lake, a town near Lake Placid and merges with Route 30 . The roads soon split and Route 3 heads eastward towards Plattsburgh.

In Plattsburgh, Route 3 becomes a local road and soon interchanges with the Adirondack Northway . Route 3 ends at U.S. Route 9 off the shore of Lake Champlain soon after.
