New York State Route 191 (NY 191) is a short 6.24-mile (10.04 km) county-maintained state highway located north of Adirondack Park in Clinton County, New York, United States. The route is co-designated by the county highway department as County Route 23 and heads from an intersection with NY 22 in the hamlet of Sciota within the town of Chazy to an intersection with U.S. Route 9 in the hamlet of Chazy. The route meets Interstate 87 (the Adirondack Northway) west of Chazy hamlet.

NY 191 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. The route initially extended from the community of Altona to a ferry landing at Chazy Landing, where it connected to Vermont Route F-2 by way of a ferry across Lake Champlain. The ferry ceased to operate in 1937, but NY 191 remained unchanged until 1980 when ownership and maintenance of NY 191 was transferred from the state to Clinton County. NY 191 was truncated to its current termini following the maintenance swap.

Route description

NY 191 begins at an intersection with NY 22 and Miner Farm Road (County Route 23) in the community of Sciota within the town of Chazy. The route heads to the northeast, concurrent with County Route 23, as Miner Farm Road. The highway, after leaving Sciota, is semi-developed, with several residences and major patches of woodlands following the highway in both directions. The two highways begins a short stretch heading eastward, where they intersect with Angelville Road (County Route 20). A short distance later, the two routes begin a southeastern stretch, passing through dense woodlands in the rural parts of Clinton County.[3]

The route from here is undeveloped until the two highways begin to wind eastward towards the hamlet of Chazy. A short distance after the winding ends, Routes 191 and 23 begin to break from the dense woodlands and pass to the south of the William H. Miner Agriculture Research Institution. The routes from there then begins to develop once again, and then the two routes interchange with the Adirondack Northway (I-87) in the community of Chazy. The highways turn northeastward and enter downtown Chazy, with NY 191 terminating at an intersection with U.S. Route 9. County Route 23 becomes concurrent with US 9 towards Chazy Landing.[3]

History

NY 191 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. It began in the hamlet of Altona within the town of the same name and ended at Chazy Landing, a community located on the western shore of Lake Champlain in the town of Chazy. Here, NY 191 connected to Vermont Route F-2 on Isle La Motte by way of a ferry.[1] The ferry was discontinued in 1937;[4] however, the endpoints of NY 191 remained unchanged.[5][6] On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of all of NY 191 was transferred from the state of New York to Clinton County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.[7] The entirety of the highway was designated as County Route 23 by Clinton County[8] and NY 191 was truncated to consist only of the portion of the route between Sciota and Chazy.[9]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Chazy, Clinton County.
