In Tucker Terrace, NY 131 makes a gradual curve to the southeast, passes the Massena Country Club, and intersects with County Route 41 (CR 41).

Paralleling the Richards Landing Bike Trail, NY 131 makes another bend, this time back to the northeast past more riverside homes.

After a distance, the amount of residences recedes, and NY 131 intersects with CR 43 (Town Line Road), which connects the route to the village of Massena.

[4] Paralleling the riverside, NY 131 passes within 100 feet (30 m) of the St. Lawrence and Long Sault Island before turning to the southeast and soon east through Massena.

[4] NY 37 originally entered the village of Massena when it was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.
