Route description
NY 38A begins at an intersection with
Approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Globe Hotel Corners, NY 38A turns to follow a more northwesterly routing, matching the curvature of the river valley. The valley ends at the Cayuga–Onondaga County line, where NY 38A enters an area of flats situated in between Owasco Lake and Skaneateles Lake. Here, NY 38A intersects NY 359, a short highway leading to NY 41A. NY 38A bears west here, traveling to the south of the Dutch Hollow Country Club as it reenters Cayuga County.[3]
The route proceeds west into the town of Owasco and the hamlet of the same name within, the first community of any significant size along the route since it left Moravia. It heads westward through the center of the community before reentering rural surroundings and coming within view of Owasco Lake. The route curves northward at the waterbody and follows the eastern shore of Owasco Lake toward Auburn. Southeast of Auburn, NY 38A crosses a small stream and serves the Lakeview Golf and Country Club and the Owasco Country Club as it curves westward around the northern end of the lake.[4]
At Emerson Park, a public park situated near the midpoint of the northern lakeshore, the highway turns back to the north to access
