New York State Route 18F (NY 18F) is a 9.80-mile (15.77 km) long state highway in northwestern Niagara County, New York, in the United States. The southern terminus of the route is at an interchange with NY 104 and the Niagara Scenic Parkway just east of the village of Lewiston. The northern terminus is at an intersection with NY 18 near Four Mile Creek State Park in Porter. NY 18F parallels NY 18 for most of its alignment, taking a more westerly course than its parent. NY 18F is the only remaining suffixed route of NY 18.
The portion of modern NY 18F south of Youngstown was originally designated as part of NY 34 in 1924; however, NY 34 was absorbed into NY 18 as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. The change was part of a larger extension of NY 18 east to Rochester. NY 18 was realigned in 1949 to follow its modern alignment between Lewiston and Lake Ontario, at which time its former routing alongside the Niagara River became NY 18F.
Officially, NY 18F begins at the eastern edge of the village of Lewiston at an interchange between NY 104 and the Niagara Scenic Parkway. Signage for NY 18F, however, exists as far south as the interchange between NY 104 and NY 18 south of the village. According to signage, NY 18F is concurrent to NY 104 from NY 18 north to the interchange between NY 104 and the Moses Parkway, where NY 18F and NY 104 split at the western extent of the interchange. The Seaway Trail, routed along NY 104 from Niagara Falls north to Lewiston, follows NY 18F west into Lewiston along the path of Ridge Road, here named Center Street. At 4th Street, NY 18F turns northward, following 4th Street for four blocks to Oneida Street. NY 18F cuts west on Oneida for two blocks before continuing northward out of the village on 2nd Street.
