Encyclopedia
New York State Route 194 (NY 194) was a state highway
that was located in Lewis County
, New York
. It began at an intersection with NY 177
in Barnes Corners, a hamlet within the town of Pinckney
, and progressed northeast to its northern terminus at a junction with NY 12
in Copenhagen
.
When NY 194 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, it extended northeast through Copenhagen to NY 26
in Denmark
. It was truncated to NY 12 in the late 1930s. On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of NY 194 was transferred from the state of New York to Lewis County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. NY 194 was the only highway transferred to the county as part of the swap. The NY 194 designation was removed just over one month later. Most of its former routing is now County Route 194.

. The route first went northward, intersecting with County Route 21, where it turned to the northeast. Route 194 continued to the northeast, entering the Pinckney State Reforestation Area. McDown Road, a dirt road, intersected with Route 194 just before the main highway entered the hamlet of Forks Number Two. Route 194 left Forks Number Two and went on towards Copenhagen. Now in the town of Pinckney, Route 194 made several turns in direction until entering the hamlet of Pinckney Corners. At this point Route 194 was edging ever closer to Copenhagen, the largest municipality along the highway.
