Saratoga County, home of Saratoga Springs, is perhaps best known for the Saratoga Race Course, a summer horse racing venue named by Sports Illustrated as one of the world’s best sporting venues.

The Saratoga Spa State Park offers close to 2,400 acres of protected lands, including the historic Gideon Putnam Roosevelt Baths and Spa, which was established in 1935.

The state park is also home to the world-renowned Saratoga Performing Arts Center, the Saratoga Automobile Museum and the National Museum of Dance. A pool complex within the state park offers a main pool, children’s pool, concessions, locker rooms and showers. Scenic tours are available on Lake George and Saratoga Lake, while walking tours include the Spa City Brew Bus, food tours and Haunted Saratoga Ghost Tours.
