New York State Route 10 (NY 10) is a north–south
NY 10 was assigned in 1924; however, it initially followed a completely different alignment than it does today. At the time, it began at the

NY 10 begins
Past the end of the reservoir, NY 10 continues northeast in the vicinity of the Delaware River to Walton, a village located directly on the banks of the river. Within the village limits, NY 10 overlaps NY 206 along Delaware Street before separating from the route and proceeding east out of the village. NY 10 remains alongside the Delaware as it continues northeast to Delhi, the home of the State University of New York at Delhi. After passing along the eastern edge of the campus, NY 10 intersects and briefly overlaps NY 28 through the village center before quietly leaving the area.[3]
14 miles (23 km) northeast of Delhi in northeastern Delaware County, NY 10 passes through both Hobart and Stamford, a pair of villages located on the northernmost few miles of the Delaware's west branch. In the latter, NY 10 meets NY 23. North of Stamford in Schoharie County, NY 10 turns northeast, bypassing the 2,900-foot (880 m) tall Mine Hill, home to the source of the west branch of the Delaware. At the northern edge of the hill, NY 10 curves back to the northwest to serve the Jefferson hamlet of the same name.[3]
Outside of Jefferson, NY 10 continues onward through rural Schoharie County, passing through only small roadside hamlets before entering the village of

Just across the county line, NY 10 passes through the village of
Downtown, maintenance of NY 10 shifts from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) to the village at Mohawk Street. The highway remains locally owned for three blocks to Incinerator Road, where the route becomes state-maintained once more.[4] During this stretch, NY 10 intersects NY 5S at Main Street. North of Incinerator Road, the route passes under the Thruway before crossing into the neighboring village of Palatine Bridge at the midpoint of the Mohawk River. On the northern riverbank, NY 10 meets NY 5 and overlaps the route westward for a block before continuing northward into the largely rural town of Palatine.[3]
6.0 miles (9.7 km) from Palatine Bridge, NY 10 passes into the
Adirondack Park
North of Rockwood, the community centered around the northern split of the overlap between NY 10 and NY 29, NY 10 intersects NY 10A, an alternate route around Rockwood Lake to the east. Farther north, NY 10 enters Caroga Lake, a community situated on the eastern edges of West and East Caroga lakes. In the center of the hamlet, NY 10 meets NY 29A and follows the route out of the area. Together, NY 10 and NY 29A head northward through a region dotted with small lakes, as well as the larger Canada Lake, before splitting in the vicinity of Pine Lake.[3]
Farther north, NY 10 passes directly between the Stoner Lakes, a pair of small water bodies separated by only NY 10, just south of where it crosses into Hamilton County. For most of its run through the county, NY 10 parallels a waterbody, namely the west branch of the Sacandaga River to where the Piseco Outlet flows into it, then the Piseco Outlet north to Big Bay near the community of Higgins Bay. NY 10 terminates soon after at an intersection with NY 8 south of Piseco Lake, west of Spy Lake, and southwest of Higgins Bay.[3]
History
In 1908, the
The first change to the routing of NY 10 came by 1926 when NY 10 was extended northeastward over modern NY 3 to

There are two highways that have been designated NY 10A.
- The original NY 10A was an alternate route of NY 10 between Long Lake and North Creek. It was assigned in the late 1920s[10][11] and removed as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.[9]
- The current NY 10A is a 2.41-mile-long (3.88 km) two-lane spur providing an alternate connection from NY 29 in Fulton County. The route begins at NY 29 in the Town of Johnstown and heads northwest to end at NY 10 in the Town of Caroga just inside the limits of Adirondack Park. NY 10A serves as a link for motorists wishing to access the western parts of Caroga via NY 10 from NY 29, bypassing the Rockwood hamlet, a reduced speed zone, and about a mile of highway.[1] It was assigned c. 1931.[14][15]
The entire route is in Fulton County.
