While many people think that the Westchester County's Sprain Brook Parkway - unsigned reference route NY State Route 987F [1] - is the beginning of the Taconic State Parkway at its southern end, this parkway is not. This 12.65 miles (20.36 km)-long parkway connects to the Taconic State Parkway through an exit near its southern end. This article will describe its route and most of the items you'll find on it.

  1. You'll begin traveling this highway from the Bronx River Parkway, heading almost straight north for the first .5 miles (0.80 km) as a 6-lane freeway to the west of Scout Field County Park. It then curves to the northwest and the routes break away, sending this highway northwest past Andrus Park into Centuck, before traveling straight north-northeast with bounded lines bending to the northeast on either side of Grassy Sprain Reservoir, then crossing Sprain Ridge Park and a golf course. The highway will cross Ardsley Rd, Underhill Rd, and the Sunningdale Country Club. It passes East Rumbrook Park, Anthony F. Veteran Park, and Secor Woods Park, within a half mile of Ferncliff Cemetery and the site of Malcolm X's burial plot [3] , and continues past an exit for I-287 (on a very curvy route), into Elmsford past Blythedale Children's Hospital, where it begins traveling northwest (allowing you to view Westchester Medical Center/New York Medical College). Finally, it swings east to catch its endpoint at the Taconic State Parkway - serving the confusion at the Taconic State Parkway's exit 2 - where it ends.

      • This parkway parallels NY-100 to its west. However, at points, it doesn't directly connect and instead connects to county routes providing the connection to this route.
