New York State Route 423 (NY 423) is an east–west state highway located within the town of Stillwater in Saratoga County, New York, in the United States. It extends for 3.86 miles (6.21 km) from an intersection with NY 9P on the eastern shore of Saratoga Lake in the hamlet of Snake Hill to a junction with NY 32 southwest of Saratoga National Historic Park. The road was acquired by the state of New York in the early 1920s and designated as NY 423 in the early 1930s.
NY 423 begins at a junction with NY 9P in the hamlet of Snake Hill, located on the eastern shores of Saratoga Lake in the town of Stillwater. The route proceeds southeastward as a two-lane highway, winding its way past a handful of homes built on the side of a valley surrounding the lake. The residential surroundings begin to taper off at the top of the valley's edge, where NY 423 meets the south end of County Route 70 (CR 70). From here, the highway turns slightly eastward, passing through a wooded, marshy area surrounding a small creek.
Past the marsh, NY 423 leaves the woods for a 2-mile (3.2 km) stretch of mostly open fields and a small number of isolated homes. It intersects several roads of local importance, including the northern terminus of CR 75, before it connects to NY 32 at an intersection adjacent to several farms. NY 423 ends here; however, its right-of-way continues east toward Bemis Heights as part of NY 32. Both directions of NY 32 lead to Saratoga National Historical Park, located just to the northeast of NY 423's eastern terminus.
