Route description

Cortland County

NY 41A begins at an intersection with NY 41 about two miles (3 km) north of the village of Homer in the town of the same name. It heads west to wind up a hill through a wooded area for about a mile. The route then crosses into Cayuga County.

Cayuga County

After entering Cayuga County, NY 41A runs along Lake Como and curves to the north. Through its journey through Cayuga County, NY 41A passes through the hamlets of Como, Sempronius, and New Hope (the latter within the town of Niles). Most of the routing of NY 41A through Cayuga County passes through rural farmland.

Onondaga County

NY 41A enters Onondaga County south of Skaneateles. It runs along the west shore of Skaneateles Lake. Between the county line and Skaneateles, NY 41A passes through several hamlets. In order from south to north, they are Mandana, Thornton Heights, Veggie Crossing, Thornton Grove, Winding Way, Greenfield Lane, The Lane, and Skaneateles. NY 41A finally ends at U.S. Route 20 just west of the village of Skaneateles.

History

The portion of modern NY 41A north of Mandana was originally designated as part of NY 26 in 1924.[3] NY 26 was split into several different highways as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. The Mandana–Skaneateles portion of NY 26 became part of NY 41A, a new highway extending from Homer to Skaneateles.[1]
