New York State Route 260 (NY 260) is a north–south state highway in Monroe County, New York, in the United States. The southern terminus of the route is at an intersection with NY 31 in the town of Sweden. Its northern terminus is at a junction with the Lake Ontario State Parkway in the town of Hamlin near the Lake Ontario shoreline. NY 260 crosses the Erie Canal near Brockport and intersects NY 104 and NY 18 in Clarkson. Much of NY 260 is a two-lane highway that passes through rural portions of western Monroe County.
The portion of NY 260 south of NY 18 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. NY 260 was extended north to North Hamlin Road c. 1931 and to the Lake Ontario State Parkway in the early 1960s. All of NY 260 north of NY 18 was originally maintained by Monroe County as the unsigned County Route 230 (CR 230); however, ownership and maintenance of CR 230 south of the Lake Ontario State Parkway was transferred from Monroe County to the state of New York in 2007 as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.
Heading north from NY 31, NY 260, named Sweden–Walker Road for the two communities it connects, proceeds to the north-northeast as a two-lane highway through a lightly developed area of the town of Sweden, crossing both the former right-of-way of an old Conrail line known as the Falls Road Secondary and the Erie Canal before entering the town of Clarkson. Across the town line, the surroundings become slightly more rural as the route approaches a junction with NY 104 (West Ridge Road) in the hamlet of Garland, located northeast of the village of Brockport and east of the hamlet of Clarkson Corners. Continuing on its north-northeasterly path, NY 260 passes through areas of increasingly rural nature as it progresses through northern Clarkson.
