context_page_description: New York State Route 294 is an east–west state highway in northern New York in the United States. It extends for just under 7 miles from an intersection with NY 26 in the Lewis County town of Lewis to a junction with NY 46 in the Oneida County village of Boonville. The route serves the hamlet of West Leyden at its western terminus and the community of Redmond Center in the Oneida County town of Ava. NY 294 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.
context_section_description: NY 294 begins at an intersection with NY 26 in the Lewis hamlet of West Leyden in southern Lewis County. Leaving a small strip of businesses and residences along NY 26, the road heads east into a mostly rural area. NY 294 crosses into Oneida County 0.75 miles (1.21 km) from NY 26 and passes through the Oneida County Reforestation Area, where the highway becomes surrounded by dense woods. After exiting the reforestation area, NY 294 heads across expansive farmlands before reaching a junction with County Route 67 (East Eva Road), which intersects from the south.
  The highway continues east, traveling past occasional farmhouses as it gradually turns toward the northeast. It passes another farm before entering a more developed corridor, although the transition is subtle. NY 294 passes several residences on its way into the village of Boonville, located about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) from the route's western terminus, where the highway becomes Ford Street. The highway serves Adirondack High School on its way to entering the heavily developed center of Boonville. Here, it becomes lined with dozens of closely situated houses and resumes an eastward direction for the remainder of its length. The route passes Boonville Elementary School on its way to the center of Boonville, where it ends at a junction with NY 46 (Post Street).
