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 don't 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 Park's 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. What's not to love.

Come and enjoy! And welcome to Saratoga Springs, NY.
