- About NY 30
New York State Route 30 (NY 30) is a state highway in the central part of New York in the United States. It extends for 300.71 miles (483.95 km) from an interchange with NY 17 (Future Interstate 86) in the Southern Tier to the US-Canada border in the state's North Country, where it continues into Quebec as Route 138. On a regional level, the route serves to connect the Catskill Park to the Adirondack Park. In the latter, NY 30 is known as the Adirondack Trail. Aside from the state parks, the route serves the city of Amsterdam (where it meets the New York State Thruway) and several villages.
NY 30 was assigned in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to most of its modern routing south of Wells, replacing a series of designations that had been assigned to the highway in the 1920s. The portion of what is now NY 30 north of Speculator was initially part of NY 10. When that route was truncated to Arietta c. 1960, NY 30 was extended northward over NY 10's former alignment by way of an overlap with NY 8.
About this trip (in the reverse direction)
NY 30 begins at an interchange with NY 17 in the town of Hancock adjacent to the confluence of the East Branch of the Delaware River and the Beaverkill River. The route follows the East Branch northeast to Downsville, where it meets NY 206. NY 206 follows NY 30 across the East Branch into Catskill Park, where the routes split near Brock Mountain. NY 30 exits the park, runs along the south side of the Pepacton Reservoir, before crossing over to the north side of the river. Near Margaretville, NY 30 briefly overlaps NY 28 before turning northward toward Roxbury, where the route passes the John Burroughs Memorial State Historic Site.

all these superb videos makes you the unofficial Poet of the Catskills we are ever in your debt the only other area so endowed with such quiet splendor is the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia
and the Stowe region in Vermont The scenery west of the Mississippi shouts its gray and brown grandeurs but east of it the splendor whispers its wondrous shades of green in the east it's a quiet thing and so in my opinion more endearing

Very nice! I’ve been visiting family in Downsville my whole life and it’s an amazing little town. I can confirm that as a kid, that stretch after Margaretville going around the reservoir seemed to take an eternity. 😄

I was born in Downsville and graduated from the central school there. My dad drove up to Margaretville on his way to Kingston, and it did take a long time along the lake because nothing to see except the road and trees. I have taken the road on the other side of the reservoir sometimes and your really by yourself most of the time. As a kid, rode my bike with a friend up the city road or to Corbett on long summer days. My poor old bike put a lot of miles on it.
