Now on the Catskill Plateau , at elevations over 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level, the route becomes rural again. Two and a half miles from Route 17 it bends northeast into the town of Fallsburg near a junction with CR 51 (Hilldale Road). Turning southeast again, NY 52 soon reaches a junction with CR 105 (Divine Corners Road). Turning southeast further,

276-450: A county-maintained roadway. Now co-designated as CR 111, NY 52 bends northeast through Tusten, remaining a two-lane rural roadway as it climbs slightly out of the river valley. The surrounding landscape is mostly forested, with occasional farm clearings. A mile from that junction, NY 52 and CR 111 reach the small hamlet of Lava , crossing the northern terminus of CR 25 (Eckes Road). Continuing northeast out of Lava,

345-423: A divided four-lane commercial strip at this point. On the other side of US 9, NY 52 becomes Hopewell Avenue. It passes through some residential and less intensely commercial areas before leaving the village after a quarter-mile, still following a northeast heading. The next mile closely parallels both Fishkill Creek and Metro-North's infrequently-used Beacon Line . At the small hamlet of Brinckerhoff ,

414-599: A half-mile further on, NY 52 curves further to the southeast, taking it across a wide swath of farmland into the village of Walden , the largest settlement along the route.

1518-599: Is today Route 52 was built as private turnpikes in the early 19th century. After their operating companies folded later in the century, the state took over the roads in the 1890s. While some portions of today's Route 52 were included in New York's first designations of state highways, it was not until a 1930 renumbering that Route 52 took that number. At that time it followed most of its present alignment, but continued east of its present terminus to NY 22 . The truncation to its junction with US 6 in Carmel came later in

1587-538: The East Branch of Callicoon Creek , which it will follow to its source , NY 52 passes the southern end of Stone Arch Bridge Historic Park. After the bridge, NY 52 reaches the eastern terminus of NY 52A . NY 52 turns northeast along the creek, soon turning northward. The surrounding valley is now mostly cleared farmland. Two miles (3.2 km) from the NY ;52A junction, NY 52 reaches

Conspicuous here is the brick tower of Walden United Methodist Church . After several blocks, West Main reaches an intersection with local Bank Street on the north, NY 208 (Ulster Avenue) ahead, and Main Street to

2070-426: The 1920s. At the time, New York only assigned numbers to a small subset of its state highways. Route numbers spanned from 1–80, with routes running primarily north–south having even numbers and routes generally running east–west having odd numbers. This scheme was abandoned with the advent of the U.S. Highway System in 1927. Some renumbering was done in 1927 to avoid overlapping route numbers. The table below lists

2139-619: The 1930s, along with an exchange of alignments between routes 52 and 216 . When the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge was opened in the early 1960s, Route 52 was rerouted onto I-84, bypassing a route to the ferry landings in Newburgh and Beacon. The alignment to I-84 in the latter city is today Route 52 Business. A little over half of NY 52's total mileage is in Sullivan County , due to its circuitous route in

Prominent on a hilltop south of the road is Fishkill Correctional Facility . As the expressway bends eastward again, high chain-link fences with concertina wire surround the concrete buildings of another prison, Downstate Correctional Facility , on the north. Signs warn drivers not to stop due to

2967-619: The less developed western half of the county, where some segments are maintained by the county rather than the state. East of Liberty , the route takes a more direct course toward its highest elevation, in the part of the county that is more dominated by resorts and summer camps. NY 52 begins at the midpoint of the Narrowsburg–Darbytown Bridge over the Delaware River as a county-maintained continuation of PA 652 (Beach Lake Highway). Co-designated as County Route 24 (CR 24), NY 52 proceeds southeast through
