New York State Route 104B (NY 104B) is a 6.07-mile (9.77 km) east–west state highway located in central Oswego County, New York, in the United States. This highway provides a connection between NY 104, the principal highway along the southern shore of Lake Ontario, in New Haven and NY 3, the principal highway along the eastern shore of Lake Ontario, in the town of Mexico. It passes through mostly rural areas and acts as a two-lane bypass of the village of Mexico, located where NY 3 and NY 104 intersect southeast of NY 104B. All of NY 104B is part of the Seaway Trail, a National Scenic Byway. The route was originally a spur route of NY 3 in the early 1930s before it became NY 104B in April 1935.
NY 104B begins at an intersection with NY 104 in the town of New Haven, located 9 miles (14 km) east of the city of Oswego. It heads northeast as a two-lane, rural highway, surrounded on both sides by dense woods. The route's most major intersection, situated about halfway along its 6-mile (10 km) routing, is with County Route 1 (CR 1) east of the hamlet of Hickory Grove. At this point, NY 104B begins to follow a routing parallel to the Lake Ontario shoreline 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north. While it also becomes the closest continuous east–west highway to the lake shore here, the shoreline itself is served by a series of short north–south roads that branch from NY 104B and head north to Lake Ontario.
