New York State Route 169 (NY 169) is a north–south state highway located within Herkimer County, New York, in the United States. It extends for 12.58 miles (20.25 km) from an intersection with NY 5S in the town of Danube to a junction with NY 28 and NY 29 in the village of Middleville. The route directly connects the city of Little Falls to the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90 or I-90), which bypasses the city to the south. Outside of Little Falls, NY 169 is a two-lane highway that passes through sparsely developed areas. The route originally began in Little Falls when it was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York; however, it was extended southward in the early 1970s to connect to a new exit on the Thruway.
NY 169 begins a short distance north of New York State Thruway (I-90) exit 29A at an intersection with NY 5S in the town of Danube. It initially heads northward through the rural town, paralleling a north–south roadway leading away from the exit and over NY 5S. The two roads converge after 0.3 miles (0.5 km), directly connecting NY 169 to the Thruway. NY 169 continues on a northward course for another 0.25 miles (0.40 km) to the southern bank of the Mohawk River, where it turns to the northwest and subsequently follows the river through a wooded area that leads the route into the city of Little Falls.
