New York State Route 52 (NY 52) is a 108.72-mile (174.97 km) state highway in the southeastern part of the state. It generally runs from west to east, beginning at the Pennsylvania state line in the Delaware River near Narrowsburg, crossing the Hudson River on the Newburgh–Beacon Bridge, and ending in Carmel. NY 52 and NY 55, both major east–west routes of the Mid-Hudson Region, run parallel to each other, intersecting in downtown Liberty.
With the exception of the section overlapping Interstate 84 (I-84), most of Route 52 is a two-lane road through lightly developed rural areas. The road west of the Hudson River serves a number of small communities in the southern Catskills, while it closely parallels I-84 east of the Hudson.
A little over half of NY 52's total mileage is in Sullivan County, due to its circuitous route in the western, more agricultural 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 half of the county more dominated by resorts and summer camps.
