The eastern terminus is at NY 104 south of Southwest Oswego, and the western terminus is at NY 104 near Red Creek.

NY 104A runs, in part, parallel to the shore of Lake Ontario between Wayne County and Oswego County.

[edit] Route description

NY 104A is a 17.5 mile route that spans three counties and parallels Lake Ontario for much of its length.

[edit] Wayne County

NY 104A begins at an intersection with NY 104 that includes the northern terminus of NY 370 southwest of the village of Red Creek. From its starting point, the route travels to the northeast, entering Red Creek and becoming Wolcott Street, Church Street, and Water Street over a very small distance. NY 104A turns due north at the center of Red Creek, losing the street name in the process. NY 104A continues to the north for 3 1/2 miles before curving to the east to enter Cayuga County.

[edit] Cayuga County

The highway maintains its northeast alignment as it enters the town of Fair Haven. Just after it passes the Fair Haven Beach State Park, NY 104A turns to the east.

After a straight stretch, NY 104A intersects the northern terminus of NY 38 in the town of Sterling at a three-way intersection. NY 38 travels south from this point while NY 104A east heads north. In the village of Sterling, the route curves east again to meet NY 3's western terminus east of Sterling. NY 104A then returns north, swerving to the north and to the northeast, eventually crossing over into Oswego County.

[edit] Oswego County

Now in the town of Oswego, NY 104A maintains a northeast alignment from the county line to its eastern terminus at NY 104 in Southwest Oswego, a distance of roughly 2.8 miles.

[edit] History

NY 104A was once US 104. The 104 alignment through most of western and central New York was altered when NY 104 was moved from Ridge Road to a new super-two highway between Williamson and Southwest Oswego. The portion of Ridge Road between Red Creek and Southwest Oswego became NY 104A.
