Saratoga National Historical Park to Reopen Battlefield Rd. July 1

SARATOGA — Saratoga National Historical Park will reopen access to the Battlefield Tour Road on July 1. Vehicles may drive the road from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. 

The National Park Service (NPS) announced it is working with federal, state, and local public health authorities and is using a phased approach to increase access on a park-by-park basis. 

In addition, the following spaces continue to be available: all grounds are open sunrise to sunset for walking and the tour road is open sunrise to sunset for pedestrians and bicyclists.  Water is not available in the park.

While these areas are accessible for visitors to enjoy, a return to full operations will continue to be phased and services may be limited. When recreating, the public should follow local area health orders, practice Leave
No Trace principles, avoid crowding and avoid high-risk outdoor activities. 

The following facilities remain closed at this time: General Philip Schuyler House; Saratoga Monument; Neilson House; The Visitor Center. 

Details and updates on Saratoga National Historical Park operations will continue to be posted on the website: www.nps.gov/sara and on facebook.com/saratoganhp. Updates about NPS operations will be posted on www.nps.gov/coronavirus.
