Saratoga Spa State Park

Saratoga Spa State Park is a 2,379-acre state park in the City of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, New York, United States, containing one of the most remarkable concentrations of naturally carbonated mineral springs in the world, whose effervescent waters bubbling up through the limestone geology of the Hudson-Champlain corridor attracted health-seekers and made Saratoga Springs one of the premier resort destinations of nineteenth-century America. The park preserves the historic bathing pavilions, mineral spring shelters, and grand Roosevelt Bathhouse from the heyday of American spa culture, when wealthy visitors came from New York City and Boston to drink and bathe in the naturally sparkling mineral waters that were promoted as therapeutic for virtually every ailment. The carbonated spring waters of Saratoga Spa State Park, now a National Historic Landmark, remain accessible to visitors through restored bathing facilities and drinking spring pavilions that keep alive the tradition of American mineral spring culture at one of its most historically significant and architecturally distinguished sites.
