The road originates from the Greenwood Lake Turnpike and parallels the Wanaque River until it reaches Awosting Road. At that point, where the river flows from the lake, East Shore Road becomes just that, the road on the lake’s east shore. It continues northward and enters Orange County, eventually entering the village of Greenwood Lake, where it meets NY 17A, which runs through Sterling Forest.
