It heads east as a two-lane highway named Drake Street, serving three blocks of homes before leaving the village for a rural area of the town of Oakfield.

NY 262 continues generally eastward across farmlands, following a similar routing to that of the New York State Thruway (I-90), located 4 miles (6 km) to the south.

Like in Elba, NY 262 bypasses most of the village's more developed areas and only skirts the southern edge of the community.

It intersects one residential street before terminating at a junction with NY 19, named South Lake Avenue.
