North of the hamlet of Maple Shade, NY 9P intersects with the western terminus of CR 71 (Cedars Bluff Road). Along the lakeside, NY 9P bends westward, soon bending away from the lake at Point Breeze, where the road crosses over the northern end of the lake on the Saratoga County Veterans Memorial Bridge, which was reconstructed in 2011. From this point to Circular Street, NY 9P is named Union Avenue. Past the lake, NY 9P enters the city of Saratoga Springs, where it intersects the terminus of CR 22 (Crescent Avenue) and CR 66 (Dyer Switch Road). NY 9P turns to the northwest, passing the Saratoga National Golf Club before the terminus of CR 65 (Meadowbrook Road). Turning westward, NY 9P enters interchange 14 with the Adirondack Northway (I-87) and passing Yaddo Gardens. After the gardens, the route passes the Saratoga Race Course and enters a section of downtown Saratoga Springs designated as the Union Avenue Historic District.
