New York State Route 51 (NY 51) is a state highway in the central part of New York state. The highway runs generally in a southwest to northeast direction from the hamlet of Mount Upton to the village of Ilion. NY 51 is a two-lane highway its entire length.
As NY 51 approaches the northern border of Otsego County, it makes a sharp left before descending to US 20 to the west in West Winfield. A 2.8-mile (4.5 km) concurrency carries it back to the original path where it again heads northward. Then, at Cedarville, it turns left and then right to use a different route, from thence it descends through the winding Ilion Gorge until it reaches Ilion, where it is known as Otsego Street.
After crossing the Mohawk River/Erie Canal, NY 51 ends at NY 5 at a trumpet interchange.
NY 51 begins at an intersection with NY 8 and Chenango County Route 37 (CR 37) in the hamlet of Mount Upton (in the town of Guilford). NY 51 proceeds east through Mount Upton as a two-lane continuation of CR 37, passing multiple residences in Mount Upton. Just after, the route crosses the Unadilla River and leave Chenango County for Otsego County. Now in the town of Butternuts, reaching a junction with the southern terminus of CR 18, NY 51 winds northeast through town a two-lane rural roadway through the town.
