New York State Route 237 is a north-south state highway located in the western part of New York, USA. The highway connects Orleans County, New York to Genesee County, New York.

NY 237 runs southward from its northern terminus at the Lake Ontario State Parkway, immediately south of Lake Ontario, in Kendall. Its southern terminus is at the intersection of New York State Route 5 in Stafford.

Route description

Genesee County

From NY 5 in Stafford, NY 237 heads north to Morganville, where the route takes on a northeast alignment for a brief distance before resuming a northerly alignment south of the New York State Thruway (I-90). NY 237 then crosses over the Thruway and meets NY 33, which parallels the Thruway along this stretch. The route continues north through South Byron, passing under the CSX Water Level Route here, before approaching Byron. In the town center, NY 237 meets NY 262.

The route continues north through the hamlet of Pumpkin Hill before crossing into Orleans County.

Orleans County

Just north of the county line, NY 237 passes through Honest Hill. Farther north, the route meets NY 31A in Clarendon. Between Clarendon and Holley, NY 237 takes on a northeast alignment. The route returns to a northern alignment at the Falls Road Railroad south of the village. In the center of Holley, NY 237 intersects NY 31. To the north of the village, the route crosses over the Erie Canal.

Now in the town of Murray, NY 237 meets NY 104 (Ridge Road). The two routes form a duplex west to the hamlet of Murray, where NY 237 breaks from NY 104 and continues north.

In Kendall, NY 237 meets NY 18 south of the town center. The route continues north to Lake Ontario State Parkway, where it terminates at an interchange with the Parkway.
