New York State Route 245 (NY 245) is a state highway in the Finger Lakes region of New York in the United States. The southern terminus of the route is at NY 21 in Naples. The northern terminus is at NY 5, U.S. Route 20 and NY 14A west of Geneva. From Geneva to Naples, NY 245 traverses the land from the north end of Seneca Lake to the south end of Canandaigua Lake in roughly a northeast to southwest direction.
NY 245 begins at an intersection with NY 21 immediately in the northeastern portion of the village of Naples, located in the town of same name, in Ontario County. Shortly after leaving the village, the route heads to the northeast along the base of a series of mountains delimiting the Canandaigua Lake valley, entering Yates County and the town of Italy before following the valley surrounding the West River at a fork in the primary valley near the southern end of Canandaigua Lake. NY 245 follows the eastern edge of the valley to the town of Middlesex, where it intersects NY 364 in the hamlet of the same name's center. NY 245 and NY 364 run concurrent for a block before NY 364 splits from NY 245 to ascend the eastern edge of the valley and continue towards Potter. North of Middlesex, the valley becomes less prominent as NY 245 progresses northward. Near the Ontario County line, NY 245 turns northeast to serve the dual-county village of Rushville, located in the towns of Potter and Gorham. Within the village, NY 245 meets NY 247. The two routes embark on an overlap northward into Ontario County.
