New York State Route 147 (NY 147) is a north–south state highway in the Capital District of New York in the United States. The southern terminus of the route is at an intersection with NY 5 west of Schenectady in the village of Scotia. Its northern terminus is at a junction with NY 29 in the town of Galway. NY 147 intersects NY 67 in the town of Charlton and serves mainly as a connector between the Schenectady area and the region surrounding Great Sacandaga Lake.
NY 147 begins at an intersection with NY 5 (Mohawk Avenue) in the Schenectady County village of Scotia. NY 147 proceeds northeastward as Scandaga Road, a two-lane commercial street past Maple Shade Cemetery and crossing over an Amtrak line. After crossing the tracks, the route enters the town of Glenville, where it connects to County Route 30 (CR 30; Vley Road), which does not directly intersect with NY 147. NY 147 crosses over another railroad line, intersecting with the terminus of CR 47 (Spring Road). After ascending up a hill, NY 147 intersects with CR 49 (Ridge Road). The route remains a residential two-lane highway, entering the hamlets of Harding Crossing and Beukendaal, at which point, intersects with CR 32 (Snake Hill Road). Curving northward into the hamlet of Glenville Center, NY 147 intersects with CR 34 (Bolt Road) and CR 36 (Church Road) before leaving the hamlet. The route remains primarily residential, bending to the northwest a distance from the Saratoga County line. NY 147 enters the hamlet of Lower Corners, where it intersects with the terminus of CR 40 (West Glenville Road). Just north of Lowers Corners, NY 147 intersects with Charlton Road (a continuation of CR 51 in Saratoga County) before NY 147 does as well.
