Saratoga Spa State Park - Roosevelt Baths and Spa Lot- Pines Loop
About This Trail
Located just minutes from the bustling downtown district of Saratoga Springs along with the famous Saratoga Racetrack, Saratoga Spa State Park offers something for every age, ability and interest. This National Historic Monument boasts numerous trails ranging in length from 0.5 mile to over 5 miles, including a 2-mile paved loop (Avenue of the Pines Loop) that can easily be accomplished with strollers and wheelchairs.
- You can easily take a whole day to explore this park! In addition to trails, the park offers other aesthetic and recreational resources, including the nationally-known Saratoga Performing Arts Center, the Spa Little Theater, the National Museum of Dance, the Saratoga Automobile Museum, the Gideon Putnam Resort, the Roosevelt Baths and Spa, two swimming pool complexes, and two golf courses.
- While there is a fee required to enter portions of the park during the summer months (unless you have a New York State Empire Pass), you can enter the Northern portion for free, which gives you access to a number of the trails and attractions, including the Automobile Museum, Lincoln Baths, and some of the “drinkable” springs.
