From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New York State Route 243 is a short east-west state highway in the Southern Tier of Western New York. Despite its minimal length, it is an important route as it provides access to Rushford Lake.
[edit] Route description
It begins at an awkward intersection with NY 98 at the hamlet of Fairview in the Cattaraugus County Town of Farmersville. Shortly afterwards, it crosses the Allegany County line at a five-way intersection.
It then wends its way southward to Rushford, then east again to run along the north shore of the lake and through the hamlet of Balcom Beach. Two miles (3.2 km) past the lake, it ends at NY 19 in Caneadea.

[edit] History
NY-230 once extended east to NY 14, according to a 1930s-era road map. It followed the current NY 14A into Dundee, turning east at the village's main intersection to follow Seneca Street and the Dundee-Lakemont Road to NY 14 between Lakemont and Starkey.
