At the Pennsylvania state line in South Valley, Pennsylvania Route 346 exits the Allegheny National Forest and becomes NY 280 upon entering New York. The route heads north along the eastern edge of the Allegheny Reservoir as East Bank Perimeter Road, clipping the southwestern corner of Allegany State Park prior to entering the Allegany Indian Reservation. NY 280 passes in and out of the park once more before turning to the east toward Quaker Lake as it enters the town of Coldspring. At Quaker Lake, NY 280 penetrates the park boundary once more and intersects Allegany State Park Route 3 at the Quaker Run entrance. Here, NY 280 turns north, traversing a small waterway separating Quaker Lake from the reservoir before reentering the Allegany Indian Reservation limits. Between ASP Route 3 and exit 18 of the Southern Tier Expressway (Interstate 86 and NY 17, NY 280 continues to straddle both the eastern extent of the Allegheny Reservoir and the western perimeter of Allegany State Park before terminating at a diamond interchange with the Southern Tier Expressway. The West Bank Perimeter Road (unsigned NY 950A), which parallels NY 280 from the Pennsylvania line northward on the western bank of the reservoir, meets the expressway at exit 17 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the west.

• Are there any pictures of the road anywhere? Just one, for kicks and giggles?
• Any possible chance of getting a map? (No, these two will not hold up me passing this...just suggestions to improve the article further.)

I'm placing this on hold for a few days so that you can deal with these concerns. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away on my talk page! Cheers, —the_ed17— 17:37, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
