New York State Route 191 (NY 191) was a 6.24-mile (10.04 km) long state highway located north of Adirondack Park. The route was maintained and co-designated by the Clinton County highway department as County Route 23 (CR 23) and headed from an intersection with NY 22 in the hamlet of Sciota within the town of Chazy to a junction with U.S. Route 9 (US 9) in the hamlet of Chazy. The route met Interstate 87 (I-87, also known as the Adirondack Northway) west of Chazy hamlet.
NY 191 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. The route initially extended from the community of Altona to a ferry landing on Lake Champlain in Chazy Landing, where it connected to Vermont Route F-2. The ferry ceased to operate in 1937, but NY 191 remained unchanged until 1980 when ownership and maintenance of NY 191 was transferred from the state to Clinton County. NY 191 was truncated to its current length following the maintenance swap. The route was decommissioned on March 18, 2015.
NY 191 began at an intersection with NY 22 and Miner Farm Road (CR 23) in the Clinton County hamlet of Sciota, located within the town of Chazy. The route headed to the northeast as a two-lane county-maintained, state-numbered highway, overlapping with CR 23 and taking on the Miner Farm Road name. East of Sciota, the highway traversed lightly developed areas, serving several residences separated by patches of woodlands. The route eventually began to turn to the southeast, connecting with Angelville Road (unsigned CR 20) in the process. A long stretch of dense forests followed the turn, with little to no development along the highway.
