New York State Route 170 (NY 170) is a north–south state highway in Herkimer County, New York, United States. It runs from NY 169 in the city of Little Falls to NY 29 in the town of Fairfield. It has only one other junction with a signed state highway, that being NY 170A, its spur route in the town of Fairfield. NY 170 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and has not been altered since.

Route description

NY 170 at an intersection near Fairfield.

NY 170 begins as East Monroe Street in the city of Little Falls, at its intersection with North Ann and West Monroe Streets, which carry NY 169. The route initially heads in an easterly direction along the northern edge of Little Falls. After about 0.5 miles (0.8 km), NY 170 turns northward and climbs a steep hill before passing the municipal golf course and leaving the city. Now in the town of Fairfield, NY 170 intersects its spur route, NY 170A, before terminating at a junction with NY 29. An erroneous "north NY 170" assembly is present on NY 169 northbound as it leaves its concurrency with NY 5 and NY 167 in downtown Little Falls.
