Lachlan Valley Way is a New South Wales state highway running from Booligal on the Cobb Highway to north of Yass on the Hume Highway (M31). From Booligal it runs in a north-easterly direction for about 76 km to Hillston. It then follows the Kidman Way (B87) for about 35 km before turning off to the right and proceeding a further 57 km to Lake Cargelligo. From there it continues to the north and east through Euabalong to Condobolin. This 93 km section of road has three named parts, from west to east. They are Lake Cargelligo-Euabalong Road, Lachlan Valley Way, and Condoblin-Lake Cargelligo Road. From Condoblin the Lachlan Valley Way turns south-east towards Forbes, a further 98 km. From Forbes it continues south-east through Gooloogong to Cowra, a further 90 km. It then turns south through Boorowa, to end after another 119 km at the Hume Freeway north-west of Yass.
For most of its length Lachlan Valley Way has no route number, the exception being the 119 km section between Cowra and the Hume Freeway, which is part of NSW state route B81. From Cowra, where Lachlan Valley Way continues west with no allocated route number, route B81 continues north a further 96 km to Molong, where it meets the Mitchell Highway. From Cowra, it follows Canowindra Road for 33 km to Canowindra and for a further 34 km to Cudal, where it turns north-east along the Escort Way (which has no route number of its own) for 11 km to Boree. Here it turns north as Peabody Road for the last 18 km into Molong.
