- is the beginning of the Taconic State Parkway at its southern end, this parkway is not. The 12.65 miles (20.36 km) Sprain Brook Parkway connects to the Taconic State Parkway through an exit towards its south near its southern end. This article will describe its route and most of the items you'll find on it.
Steps

Travel in Westchester County to Jackson Ave exit.

In Westchester County, the only county it'll travel in, you'll begin with the first .5 miles (0.80 km) traveling with the starting point at a fork with the Bronx River Parkway as a six-lane freeway traveling almost straight north (to the west of Scout Field County Park) until it curves to the northwest and the routes breaks away, sending this parkway northwest (passing Andrus Park) into Centuck. It then travels almost straight north-northeast through with bounded lanes bending to the northeast on either side of Grassy Sprain Reservoir crossing Sprain Ridge Park and a golf course and combines much later at Jackson Ave. This parkway doesn't have official exit numbers, so this article will reference mile markers for these exits instead. In Westchester County, expect exits for Yonkers at mile markers 0.00 miles (0 km) (for the Bronx River Parkway), 1.88 miles (3.03 km) (for NY-100/Central Ave) and at mile marker 1.33 miles (2.14 km) (for Tuckahoe Rd/Ridge Hill Blvd), and within Ardsley at mile marker 4.00 miles (6.44 km) (for Jackson Ave).

Complete the journey.

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, 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) and 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 doesn't have official exit numbers, so this article will reference mile markers for these exits instead. In the completing half, it'll see exits within Greenburgh at mile marker 7.6 miles (12.2 km) (for the NY-100B), within Elmsford at mile marker 8.91 miles (14.34 km) (for the I-287/Cross Westchester Expressway), within Greenburgh at mile marker 10.39 miles (16.72 km) (for the NY-100C/Grasslands Rd), and at Hawthorne at mile marker 11.2 miles (18.0 km) (for NY-100/Hospital Rd and Westchester Medical Center), and its endpoint at mile marker 12.65 miles (20.36 km) with the former Hawthorne Circle at exit 2 on the Taconic State Parkway where its traffic filters into the Taconic State Parkway.
