New York State Route 294 (NY 294) is an east–west state highway in northern New York in the United States. It extends for just under 7 miles (11 km) from an intersection with NY 26 in the Lewis County town of Lewis to a junction with NY 46 in the Oneida County village of Boonville. The route serves the hamlet of West Leyden at its western terminus and the community of Redmond Center in the Oneida County town of Ava. NY 294 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.
NY 294 begins at an intersection with NY 26 in the Lewis hamlet of West Leyden in southern Lewis County. Leaving a small strip of businesses and residences along NY 26, the road heads east into a mostly rural area. NY 294 crosses into Oneida County 0.75 miles (1.21 km) from NY 26 and passes through the Oneida County Reforestation Area, where the highway becomes surrounded by dense woods. After exiting the reforestation area, NY 294 heads across expansive farmlands before reaching a junction with County Route 67 (East Eva Road), which intersects from the south.
