Notes -

  • While NY17C has high speed traffic, it also has good wide shoulders. So it is a good place for beginners to get used to high speed traffic.
  • Alternate extension - continue on NY17C West to first light then either Left to Hickories Park OR Straight to various fast food places in Owego. CAUTION - be very careful on return as at this light you will be continuing straight east on NY17C while many cars will be making a right on the ramp to access NY17. This is a dangerous spot, not recommended for beginners. This extension adds about 1 mile.
