New York State Route 329 marker

New York State Route 329 (NY 329) is a 2.57-mile (4.14 km) long state highway near Watkins Glen, New York, in the United States. The western terminus is at an intersection with Meads Hill Road in Dix. The eastern terminus is at a junction with NY 14 and NY 414 in Watkins Glen. NY 329 passes south of Watkins Glen State Park while New York State Route 419, a highway 0.30 miles (0.48 km) in length, connects NY 329 to the park. Both NY 329 and NY 419 pass through sparsely populated, rural areas.

NY 329 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York while NY 419 was in place by 1970. NY 329 originally extended as far west as the hamlet of Townsend; however, it was cut back to its current length in the 1960s. From 1948 to 1952, NY 329 was part of the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Course, a road course around Watkins Glen State Park. Prior to the creation of the modern New York state route system in 1924, the routing of NY 329 was designated, but not signed, as part of legislative Route 46 from 1911 to 1921.

The state-maintained NY 329 begins at an intersection with locally-maintained Meads Hill Road, Townsend Road and Whites Hollow Road in the community of Dix, New York. NY 329 progresses eastward, passing through a mix of forestry and residential homes, intersecting with Willow Drive, a local cul-de-sac, crossing a local railroad line and entering Watkins Glen State Park. There, the highway becomes further surrounded by residences, soon turning to the northeast, leaving the residential area for forestry and fields. However, as it approaches the intersection with County Route 17, NY 329 returns to the residences and intersects with NY 419 just southeast of the Watkins Glen municipal limits. After, NY 329 turns northward, paralleling NY 414 into Watkins Glen, and after a short stretch of woodlands, the route turns eastward, terminating at an intersection with NY 14 and NY 414 (Franklin Street).
