In the hamlet of Kanona, NY 53 begins at an intersection with NY 415, the former routing of NY 15 through the Southern Tier. NY 53 occupies Main Street for a short distance before turning north onto an unnamed road. Just northeast of Kanona, NY 53 interchanges with Interstate 86, duplexed with NY 15 and NY 17 here, at exit 37. This interchange is located less than a mile from the southern terminus of Interstate 390 at exit 36.

North of I-86, NY 53 maintains a northeast routing through the town of Wheeler. Near Stickneys, the route begins to turn due north as it enters Prattsburg. NY 53 takes on a northeast alignment upon exiting.

Roughly three miles outside of Prattsburg, NY 53 turns to the east, paralleling the county line for four miles before turning to the north and crossing into Ontario County near Ingleside.
