Route 50 begins in Scotia at the intersection of NY 5 and winds its way through the village and into Glenville. It travels into Saratoga County and runs concurrent with NY 67 into Ballston Spa for just under a mile.

On its way to Saratoga Springs, NY 50 passes the Saratoga Performing Arts Center and the Saratoga Spa State Park. It then meets up with US 9 and forms a brief three-way concurrency with NY 29 at the corner of Broadway and Washington Avenue. About a quarter-mile later, NY 29 becomes Lake Avenue and heads towards Schuylerville. The southern terminus of NY 9N is also at this point, known as Church Street within city limits. The 9/50 concurrency goes another 1¼ miles before the former splits off and goes towards Glens Falls.

After passing Interstate 87 and making its way through the Town of Wilton, NY 50 reaches its end in Gansevoort at the intersection of NY 32.
