The western terminus of NY 193 is at an intersection with New York [State Route 3|NY 3] at Southwick Beach State Park, just east of Lake Ontario. Its eastern terminus is at a junction with U.S. Route 11 in Pierrepont Manor, just east of Interstate 81 and north of Mannsville.

Route description

NY 193 begins at an intersection with NY 3 in the town of Ellisburg, across from an entrance to Southwick Beach State Park. NY 193 heads eastward through Ellisburg, crossing County Route 75 at a rural two-lane junction. NY 193 curves to the southeast, intersecting with CR 78 and County Route [120 (Jefferson County, New York)|CR 120], which connects back to NY 3. At the junction with CR 120, NY 193 is present in the hamlet of Woodville. In Woodville, NY 193 makes a sharper turn to the southeast, before turning eastward and entering the village of Ellisburg. In Ellisburg, the route intersects with NY 289 's southern terminus. NY 193 has some residences following the sides of the street, crossing South Sandy Creek over a bridge and into the eastern end of Ellisburg.
After crossing South Sandy Creek, NY 193 intersects with CR 121. The route turns to the northeast as Eisenhauer Road, passing through a stretch of residences, which soon becomes more rural once again, bending eastbound after Scott Road in the town of Ellisburg. NY 193 soon enters interchange 40 on I-81 from the northwest, crossing a nearby railroad line before entering the hamlet of Pierrepont Manor, where NY 193 terminates at an intersection with US 11 north of Mannsville.

History

The segment of modern NY 193 between Woodville and Ellisburg was originally designated as part of NY 3C as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. NY 3C continued north from Woodville on what is now CR 78 and south from Ellisburg on current CR 121. NY 193 was assigned to its current alignment between Ellisburg and Pierrepont Manor by the following year. A new lakeside highway between Sandy Creek and the modern junction of NY 3 and NY 193 was opened to traffic as a realignment of then-NY 3D. An extension of the highway north to Henderson was completed by the following year, at which time NY 3D was realigned onto the highway and NY 193 was extended westward to meet the lakeside highway by way of NY 3D's former routing to Woodville and a new highway between the lake shore and Woodville.
