Communities
Clarkson Hamlin Shore Acres

Heading north from NY 31, NY 260, aptly named Sweden-Walker Road for the two communities it connects, proceeds to the north-northeast through the town of Sweden, crossing the Erie Canal and entering Clarkson. East of Clarkson's town center, NY 260 comes in contact with NY 104.

Continuing on its north-northeast path, NY 260 receives a new name in the Hamlin hamlet of Walker, where the road becomes Walker-Lake Ontario Road at an intersection with NY 18. North of NY 18, NY 260 takes a more northerly alignment as it continues as a county-maintained road toward its northern terminus on the Lake Ontario State Parkway in Shore Acres less than a 1/4 mile south of the Lake Ontario shoreline where the road dead ends.

[edit] History

NY 260 was assigned to its current alignment south of North Hamlin Road by 1938.^[2] The route was extended a short distance northward to meet the Lake Ontario State Parkway by 1961.^[3]
