 The change in direction brings the route into another rural valley, which follows a winding, generally northward course for 4 miles (6 km). As the highway runs along the gully, it meets CR 40A (West Caton Road) at a junction just south of the Caton – Corning town line and the north end of CR 34 at an intersection a half-mile (0.8 km) north of the boundary. The Caton Creek valley eventually gives way to more open terrain as NY 225 re-approaches the Chemung River and reenters its surrounding valley. Here, the route transitions from a rural highway to a residential street as it enters the riverside village of South Corning. Caton Road terminates at the center of the village, with the route following a northeastward alignment for its last few blocks. NY 225 turns northwestward onto Park Avenue at this point, following the right-of-way established by River Road, a highway designated as CR 44 east of the village limits.
