County Route 106 (CR 106) in the county of Orange County, New York is a continuation of two routes, New York State Route 17A (NY 17A) at its western terminus and Rockland CR 106 at the eastern terminus. Route 106 begins at an intersection with NY 17A and its parent route, NY 17 in Southfields. The route heads eastward through Harriman State Park, crossing Seven Lakes Drive before entering nearby Rockland County, New York. There it becomes Rockland County Route 106 and heads all the way to Stony Point. Route 106 was originally a part of NY 210. When Route 210 was assigned in the 1930 New York State Route renumbering, it stretched from the New Jersey border in Greenwood Lake, over the current alignments of NY 17A, Orange CR 106 and Rockland CR 106, all the way to Stony Point. During a maintenance swap in 1980, Route 210 was truncated all the way back to NY 17A north of Greenwood Lake, and the route was replaced by both County Route 106s. Much of Route 106 is mountainous, with peaks reaching as high as . The road is also very scenic, passing many hiking trails in Harriman State Park as well as several lakes. Route 106 is only one of two routes in Orange County to retain their Rockland County designation when crossing the border. The other is County Route 72 northeast of Sloatsburg. ==Route description== Route 106 begins at an interchange with NY 17 (the Orange Turnpike) and NY 17A (the Warwick Turnpike) in the hamlet of Southfields. Route 106 heads eastward, crossing over the Ramapo River and passing below the New York State Thruway before entering the mountainous regions of Harriman State Park. The highway heads into Harriman as ''Lake Kanawauke Road'', passing to the south of Green Pond Mountain, a peak in Harriman that also contains part of the Appalachian Trail. Much of the route heads in different directions, with constant curves. Route 106 heads south of Lake Stahahe, a large lake in Harriman, curving around the base of a mountain. After leaving the lake and mountain behind, Route 106 makes several drastic turns, one to the north and one to the south. After another curve, this time to the east, Route 106 passes to the north of Tom Jones Mountain, the highest peak along the highway. Soon after, the road parallels the shore of Little Long Pond.〔 Route 106 crosses Lake Kanawauke after leaving the shore of Little Long Pond. Soon afterwards, the highway intersects with Seven Lakes Drive at a roundabout. Just after the roundabout, Route 106 crosses the county border into Rockland County.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「County Route 106 (Orange County, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
