Here in the autumn of 1777, American forces met, defeated and forced a major British army to surrender. This crucial American victory in the Battle of Saratoga renewed patriots hopes for independence, secured essential foreign recognition and support, and forever changed the face of the world. Begin your visit at the Visitor Center, where you can pick up a park map & brochure and pay your entrance fee. The Visitor Center also has restrooms, a book and gift shop, 20-minute orientation film, fiber-optic light map, timeline display, and artifact display.
A great bike around an awesome Rev War battlefield. Highly recommended.
Light hiking, and very pretty. I try to hit this trail at least once a month.
Nice park for hiking with varied terrain. The trail needed better marking in a couple of areas but for the most part, map and markings are easy to follow for first timers. There is plenty to keep you interested. I would go back.
Great early morning hike
Good walk, trail is still in good shape!
4.2 mile hike a states on trail and on official trail map available at the visitors center. You can also grab four NPS cancellations here. Nice walk in the park.

This is a great trail for dogs. It ended up being more of a workout than we thought due to the snow and the hills. Really pretty though.
Beautiful and Peaceful. Cool learning the history along your walk.
There is a $3 pp entry fee to hike. The trail was well maintained. Half of the trail is through fields with full sun and the other half is through woods. Nice, east trail.
Good five-mile hike on sunny, brisk late-February Friday. Some icy spots were encountered.
