Talk:List of county routes in Greene County, New York

Route 3
Whatever the county says (the source now 404s), the segments of what it considers Route 3 do not end in dead ends. in Halcott the road continues north past the snowplow turnaround (where, I'm sure, county maintenance ends) but remains legally drivable into the col between Bearpen and Vly mountains, where there's a hunter's cabin and ample place to park whatever car you have managed to drive up the road in preparation for a hike up either or both peaks, assuming it's not hunting season.

The town highway superintendent told me that it's still considered a county road at that point, even if it is never maintained. At 2820 ft in the col, I think that makes it the highest free through road in the state.

It continues through the col and down the other side to the other "dead end", and remains legally driveable, although I am assured that you don't want to try that without a really good 4WD vehicle, and indeed signs where the pavement ends sort of suggest as much.

 * I have updated the dead link, but NYSDOT still considers them separate. Mitch 32 (The ripest peach is highest on the tree.) 20:21, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
