About This Trail

Imported description

The main thrust of the park is health and recreation. There are more than 12 miles of trails that are suitable for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. This guide will help you find things to do in the park. I've tried to cover all the major baths, pools, trails and sites within the park. You can find more about the mineral bath offerings in the area by checking out the links in the guide. The mineral baths and spring water of the city of Saratoga Springs are well-known. It's not often you see mineral springs erupt from the ground.
