NY 161 NY 163

New York State Route 162 (NY 162) is a state highway in eastern New York, United States. It runs from the hamlet of Sloansville within the town of Esperance, Schoharie County to the hamlet of Sprakers within the town of Root, Montgomery County, west of the village of Canajoharie. NY 162 begins concurrent with NY 30A, which continues south of NY 162's intersection with U.S. Route 20. After 0.75-mile (1.21 km), the concurrency splits, with NY 162 heading westward. NY 162 is a two-lane highway for all of its length, although its final 1.25-mile (2.01 km) has a climbing lane southbound as it leaves the Mohawk Valley over the Sprakers Gorge. The northern terminus of NY 162 is at a point where NY 5S is split; NY 162 merges with the westbound lane on its left, and a U-turn lane provides access to Sprakers and points east.[3]

It briefly passes through the town of Carlisle before entering Montgomery County and the town of Charleston. NY 162 serves the isolated hamlet of Charleston Four Corners on its way into the town of Root, where it proceeds northwesterly through the hamlets of Rural Grove and Currytown before ending at an intersection with NY 5S west of the community of Sprakers.
