A true gem of a park in upstate NY and all of Northeastern US. The park is truly unique, you will not find another one like this in the Northeast. Besides beautiful territory with golf courses, vast plaza complex, lawns, forested areas, ravines, and streams, the park features multiple natural mineral springs. You can (should!) try a sip from each spring, as the water is pristine and healing. The healing properties of the water have been well documented and known for centuries, but gradually lost to public awareness over the past 100 years or so. Each spring has unique mineral composition and taste that you will not encounter elsewhere. The water has generally been used to improve digestion, but must only be consumed in small quantities (sips, not mug-fulls). Also dont be shy to wet your face, neck, and arms/legs! Aside from the water itself, the springs emit vapors that have a calming and relaxing effect on the body and mind, helping you feel rested and at peace. The scent from the Parks plentiful pines helps clear the head, build immunity, and clear away stress. The park houses a spa offering mineral baths and other treatments, a theatre, a couple of museums (my favorite is the Automobile Museum), a boutique hotel, and a performing arts center. Lots of space to roam, whether walking or cycling. Many covered picnic areas, a massive scenic golf course, a stream for fishing, and lots more. Whats not to love. Come and enjoy! And welcome to Saratoga Springs, NY.

Very well appointed Park as expected given the area and its history as a luxury resort. Many museums to see and the grounds are extensive with a mix of trails and walking paths. Fall foliage was in season and there are plenty of opportunities for photos and to simply enjoy the season with a walk. Trails are very easy and suitable for the casual.

Great place to take a long walk. You can pick trails that go through meadows, along a trout brook, through mature forest, or just walk the outside perimeter on the paved path. Its a big park. A popular path is marked as the 5 Mile Trail, you can pick this trail up most anywhere in the park and walk as much of it as youd like. There are many other things to do in this wonderful park as well. There is SPAC, the famous performance art center, a car museum, a community theater, tennis courts, 2 swimming pools (1 adult, 1 with kids water features), an 18 hole and 9 hole golf course, mineral bath house and massage, farmers markets, multiple mineral springs (bring some spring water home!), playground, 18 hole (2x9) disc golf course, pavilion rentals, softball fields, a nature center, a tree nursery, the Gideon Putnam hotel and dining, the Hall of Springs for catered events, and a winter season outdoor skating rink. So much to do!

Beautiful trails that are maintained for year round use. Excellent for walking, low impact hiking and running. Also, the addition of Wired Cafe has been nice as well. (It’s in one of the Roosevelt buildings.)

Definitely check out the 5 mile / geyser trail. It goes along different geysers. Pretty flat but not good for stroller. Go to alltrails.com to get the location of the trail. Would love to come back.

The place is absolutely amazing. Wish we lived close to it.Clean, safe, peaceful. Offers tons of amenities from playgrounds to hiking trails. Tons of barbecue grills, benches, tables, courts, pools, and bathrooms. The coolest thing is that it has taps with spring/mineral water and you could bring a big 5-6 gallon water bottle to fill it out for free :)Great for a day or just a walk on the trail for an hour. There is a concert outdoor arena too but I’ve never been inside.Fantastic place

Great park, full of springs - Some good, some not so good. There are lots of trails, a pool that is currently closed as are play grounds. Admission to the geyser area was $10 for a car. Several people had multiple jugs they were filling up at the state seal spring. There is a great trail/walkway along the river. The park also seems to be dog friendly. Great place for a bike ride, run or long walk.

Amazingly lovely hike in an impeccably kept park. If youre into the mineral spring details, theres plenty to seek out. The hike was stunning with the fall colors, and perfect weather.

Very picturesque during the fall! Parking is free as well during this time of year. We brought our dog to explore and she loved it! Was honestly not a huge fan of trying out the springs and bathrooms are unfortunately closed during the off season. But still a very nice place to take a stroll!

I went to this place in september end. Trust me it’s the best time to visit this park. Fall colors were beautiful and we were mesmerized with the trek. It was really peaceful and so close to nature.

So much to do and see at this state park. You can easily spend the day there ! Lovely time ! My pictures dont do this park justice. 2 pools, museums, ample picnic areas, springs, lovely venues, reflection pools, lovely buildings, golf grounds which are beautiful ! Really a great place to spend some time !

Easy walk around the park on a beautiful day. Viewing the geyser was interesting to our kids in their twenties too. Wired coffee shop was a bonus at the end of our walk. We tried the music walking tour but found it distracting to the sounds of nature that we preferred to listen to. But with that being said, the music would have been nice if I was walking alone.

We spent all day exploring the park. It was kinda fun finding all the springs and trying them when we could. Id love to come back again, theres so much more to do than we could fit in one day.

This is such a pleasure to visit. The front entrance on Rt 9 is always so beautifully arranged with flowers of the season. One of my favorite places to visit. It is one of my favorite places for my German Shepherd to visit since she was 10 weeks old. She is now 6.

Beautiful state park. Nice trails and picnic tables near creek and springs. Main buildings and pool were closed due to Covid but they looked lovely. Would love to return once health alerts are lifted.

What a fun stop for our girls weekend! Such a nice walk/hike...we water tasted all the spring spots...the water doesnt taste good but the experience was great

A great place to visit so many things to see and do.While I have not actually utilized the spas Ive been in them and they look fabulous.The park itself is a wonderful place full of nature with several springs to try.It makes for an excellent day of outing for any outdoor enthusiast

Went with my partner and friends on the full, 5 mile hike and it was amazing. You get to see a little bit of each area of the park. A good, balanced hike. Not very hard.

This park is so beautiful. It was torrential downpour the day we visited, but it was still fun to go taste each of the different mineral springs. They’re extremely potent tasting, but it was fun to keep trying and hoping that they were palatable.

What a lovely park. The pool was closed when we went but the pool looked really fun, waterside and all. Multiple playgrounds for the kids, lots of trails for hiking, spots for fishing, grills, picnic tables, and springs turned into water spouts to fill your bottle with fresh natural spring water. The park is clean, safe, and well maintained.

Nice park, plenty of trails, and theres a park ranger onsite to help direct you during your stay.

Nice open spaces, wooded walking trails. A nice place to spend an afternoon.

One of my favorites. They even have 2 ice rinks. Cross country skiing and and a warming hut in the winter.

Lots of fun hiking trails. Swimming pools during summer. Spas by appointment. Healthy water. Picnic Tables. Really fun.

Well kept 9 hole disc golf course. Has 2 different tee spots per hole to make playing 18 different. Many wide open spaces but some obstacles and challenges to keep it interesting. Great course for learning to play.

Still amazing even when it’s off season, this place is a must visit. There are so many things to do here, we couldn’t do everything and planning on coming back for more.The short hikes to see the mineral springs were wonderful, and a great fit for my toddler. Also loved the huge lawns

A fun, easy park to take a short hike or to bring a picnic. Get a yearly pass if you live nearby. Itll be worth the expense. Just know the geyser has a giant generator not far away. I suspect that the geyser gets a little assistance from Edison & whomever invented the electric pump.

I have lived in the area all my life but this was the first time I visited the park. It was beautiful!! There was plenty to do and plenty of room to social distance. NOTE: With ID there was no charge for senior entrance/parking. I was not aware of this at the time but will take advantage of this perk NEXT TIME I visit Saratoga Spa State Park.

Massive park with plenty of walking trails and scenery to see. We parked by the little creek and were able to walk around quite a bit even with a baby stroller. Definitely enough to keep you busy most of the day, highly recommended

Very large park, great facilities, many short hiking trails. Reach spring has a unique taste. Spent an afternoon as a short so on a trip, wish we had more time to explore. Will be taking a to back there.

Saratoga State Park is one of the best parks in Saratoga. As a runner, its easy to find various routes with tons of variety to keep you exercise interesting. As a photographer, my couples have always loved going to the park to take their engagement or family portraits. Since the grounds are so expansive, there is no shortage of beautiful places to shoot!The park is dog-friendly, so there are always a few pups running around too in the spring and summertime, which I view as a great bonus!

Like to take walks. Lots of trails. Some are long and others are short. We took the one by route 50 down the o spac. Also known as the preforming arts. Nice. And looked at the fountain. Also the one in the pond. It is in disrepair. Used to look so nice. Hope the find the money to repair it.

Wonderful park for easy hikes, sprinkled throughout with many natural springs.

Saratoga Spa State Park is a beautiful place to relax. The gentle terrain offers picnic areas, shady stream side trails, suitable for the nature-lover or the casual walker, as well as certified running courses used by joggers. There are fountain springs all around the park. The fountains have signs that read that the water has medicinal benefits. I know people from all over the country to enjoy the benefits of the water. I did taste the water and some fountains had an effervescent taste to it while other had a refreshing taste. I highly recommend this park if you’ve never been before.

Beautiful, well maintained park with variety of trails ans fascinating springs.

Love this park! Bring my dog there almost every weekend for walks through out the park & I also love bringing water jugs to get the fresh water from the Springs.

Great place for family fun. Either for a walk a dip in the pool or just a relaxing time. Its clean and beautiful veiws.

Surprised to see mineral rich waters just sprinkling out from the ground. Nice and relaxing place to walk and relax.

Very close to town... Very well maintained... ample picnic tables all along the creek in shade... Love it here!!!

Loved exploring this beautiful park well laid out trials. It was a combination round robin and scavenger hunt tracking down the mineral springs and tatsing them while enjoying the tranquil beauty and history

Absolute delight! You or you and your family could spend the entire day here. Getting lost in the woods on the trails, cycling, playing Frisbee golf, cooling off in the pool, having a picnic or taking a sip of each of the springs.Highly recommend having a visit. The one items that I do wish would be a bit different is the admission fee. If there was any way that could be $5 instead of $10, I believe more would visit.That said, try to not let that be a deterant, its worth tha $10.

The park is very pretty and interesting but disappointingly not allowed access to the spas due to the Covid. Would recommend visiting this place though. Tasting water from 5 different Springs was interesting each one tasting different.

Just went to the farmers market for the first time today, and it was fantastic. The food there was good and wonderfully not plain. Dog friendly and CoVid precautions taken seriously.

Naturally Beautiful. Great place to hike, bike ride, or just take a stroll. Visit the springs... take a sip if youre REALLY adventurous. The grounds are pretty vast, so theres plenty to explore.

Beautiful day out & had a very nice picnic in the park with the friends I work with. There was a group of people down a ways having a party & we got to enjoy their music and relax and our group enjoyed it so much....couldnt have planned it any better our selves! Last time I was there was in the same area for my Dads and Aunts birthdays celebration years ago before their passing in like 1997....oh what memories came flooding back that day!

Always a good time here. We stopped in for the grateful dead show and everything was very relaxed and well organized. We had no problem getting in or out and everything was enjoyable during the event.We set up a little demonstration booth in the parking lot to raise awareness for our non profit work in Albany.

Very clean and beautiful. Park is very green, well taken care of and has mineral water springs all around it where you could read about past of the park and springs, learn history,learn which minerals are contained in the particular spring and taste the water from the open springs. Also there is a nice pool, pool with 2 slides and water sprinkler with baby pool. All were clean,water is not over chlorinated and no crowded. Park also got few very nice playgrounds for kids, hi king trails and so much more to spend the day and have fun.

Awesome place to be with friends and family. Theres picnic areas,Pools,Disc golf course,Golf, concert venue recommend to anyone

Beautiful state park. Met family members there by kids playground. Pay for parking and masks required. Everyone was social distancing and we felt comfortable there.

This park is so beautiful, it offers something for everyone. Picnic areas, geiser creek walk is a must and the park is dog friendly. On super hot days there is also a pool to cool off in.

This was such a good experience. I woke up rejuvenated and renewed! It is costly, but the massage is worth it! Id recommend Ed for any first timers. Enjoy!

This place is huge, wish I had my bike with me. Nice park ... did I mention that this park is huge! Needs a playground we didn’t see any....surprisingly! Build a playground and I’ll bump it up to 5 stars. Check out our video of our visit on YouTube under Erick and Ourbacks

We love taking our kids here to ride their bikes or go for a family walk.

Fantastically beautiful and well maintained state park. Great picnic areas, springs, easy hiking trails, museums and other art institutes for those who seek that kind of activity. One of the nicest NY state parks.

Very calming and comforting place to be in. Surrounded by nature and amazing hiking places

This park is so beautiful! There are plenty of picnic areas and the springs are such a refreshing and fun thing to come, see and taste.There are also pools and a golf area but we did not check these out, we primerily came for the Saratoga springs.Park grounds are beautiful and well taken care of. Worth a visit for the entire family.

As always excellent service, keep all those great workers.So we can keep coming back as weather permits.

Never thought this park would bring me so much happiness but it did. Went on the Geyser creek trail hike and it was so pretty to say the least. Tasting the Island Spouter mineral water was really a unique experience. Extremely happy to have brought a water bottle with me to take some home.

Great for walking, performing arts, car museum, historic soa, restaurant, bat, giant swimming pool, golf ... What more could one need

Theres so much to do here its almost daunting :-) Miles of trails, playgrounds, two pools, and all the spring water you can stomach! Plus there are several museums in the grounds, including the Automobile Museum, and there is a nature center open in the summer.We come here during any season of the year and go hiking or wander the area. In the winter there is a warming hut, and in the summer the springs open up. This used to be a posh getaway for the ritzy New York crowd, but now it is a relaxing natural environment for everyone to appreciate.

Was in Saratogathis weekend and are there 3 times. Great memorabilia and good service. It was friendly and food was superb.

This is probably the best state park in New York. I’d say it’s deserving of national park/monument status.

Beautiful park featuring many natural springs, off road bike trails, the automobile museum and picnic areas. Also two pools and tennis courts.

Beautiful. Lots of different trails so you can walk as much or as little as you like. Love the springs and the history.

Beautiful location and well maintained but during an international pandemic, the mask ordinances were disregarded and not enforced. Large groups of over 20 people were having parties and the 6 apart recommendation was non existent. I recommend the the rangers do their part to enforce the recommendations for the health of the visitors and the surrounding areas.

The grounds are absolutely fantastic. With a car museum and as well as an Amphitheatre it is a great place just to make a day of it

Loved the geyser and the springs...that water tastes salty!!

Beatuiful venue in the woods. Carnival atmosphere around the concessions. Dont expect to see the stage from the lawn unless you get there early and stake your claim. The seated area provides a beautiful experience if you can afford to get in there, especially the front few rows of the the balcony.

One of the most beautiful parks in the update NY area. Ive lived here for few years and never had the chance to visit this park. Its quite amazing. Lots of trails. And the geographic formations due to the springs are a must see.

Wow! What an awesome place to explore!

A beautiful state park thats safe and well kept. A great place to go with the grandkids or your family.

Beautiful grounds and buildings. Unfortunately, everything was closed.There are some nice hiking trails though. Real pretty.

This is a fantastic park to run, bike, or walk, or to picnic. Its very tranquil and beautiful. All the natural springs are fun to drink from too.

Great tourist spots, many walking trails. Beautiful footage and flower arrangements.

Take the 5 mile hike. It is worth the time. You will see things you never would when driving in or going to a spac concert. The markers are good.

Excellent place to spend some time in Saratoga. Farmers market was awesome! Nice trails and museums. Gideon hotel etc...

It is a beautiful place if you enjoy nature, I gave it three stars because the springs were a big disappointment when they say springs you imagine that you are going to see the springs ie, large bodies of water, in actuality what you see is a rusty faucet with trickles of water coming out, but they do have a great pool with a nice big slide, and very nice hiking trails, they can do better with the park map that they give you

Beautiful trails that wind through the forest, a pool and areas for barbecuing. Its pet friendly but very hard to find a trash can.

Beautiful day in the park! Training day day with our dog Hanna was fun.

Beautiful, clean and well taken care of. Disc golf course is fun!

Lovely place to visit. I ride the mountain bike trails.

A great picnic spot to spend an entire dayMineral springs with small hikesSpa and pools to relaxMuseumsA must visit in Saratoga springs

Short stroll through the paved path. Plenty of stuffs to see here.

Awesome preservation of the mineral springs. Lots of walking trails and cool pools to swim. A must see when in Saratoga

Always a good place to relax and cool off in The pool! Staff are nice, and you can bring your own food. Good size main pool and slide is fun but youll wait on long line if its busy.

I thought this park was absolutely gorgeous, hiking trails well maintained and of course the spring water is reason enough

Nice pool, but parking lot is filthy. Even the pool staff was littering in the parking lot. It was terrible. Reminded me of the day after a frat party.

They have some nice places to set up a grill, and some cool springs. The mineral springs taste like puke though

Many paths. Sun drenched or shade laden.

Great place to walk, picnic and learn about the springs.

Really lovely and well taken care of historic spot. Great for nature lovers, artists, dancers, etc.

Beautiful park. Nice area to hang out with kids. Great place for photos too.

Great State Park - number of great trails to hike. Love the geyser!

Its a great place to go hang out with the family walk around and do some hiking

Beautiful,.large park with many activities including a small and very large pool complex (with big slides!), disc golf, traditional golf, gorgeous rental pavilions and plenty of trails. Entry fee is a bit steep so make sure once youre in, you stay in, because its easy to be back on the outside without realizing it.

What a lovely place to walk or picnic. A great spot for photographers and artists to capture moments.

Great clean park. There was plenty of trails to hike or bike. All the trails were marked and map was easy to read. A great place to go and spend the day outdoors. There was a lot to do and see from the natural springs and auto museum.

Solid course. On the easy side. Decent greens

Farmers Market was amazing. Such great vendors and variety

Was at the park to play golf. But took a little drive around to scope out the other areas. Every area is very well maintained. Lots of walkers, bikers and people walking their dogs with everyone social distancing. It was a nice quiet park, with many different areas to explore.
