Saratoga
Battlefield
T
he significance of the Battle of Saratoga cannot be
appreciated without a tour of the battlefield itself.
The National Park Service has an excellent map, available at
the park office, that guides one on a 10 mile loop of well
interpreted sites in the battlefield itself. That is why those
directions are not included here. This tour goes around the
park, past several historic sites in Schuylerville and makes a
short loop into the countryside before returning to Schuylerville
along the Hudson River and then the park.
The first stop after traveling along the river is the Saratoga
National Cemetery which is a relatively new national cemetery.
The grounds are impressive and a respectful ride through
provides the opportunity to reflect on the fact that the
values fought for years ago are still being defended today.
The Schuyler House is a short distance to the right on Rt. 4
when entering Schuylerville and a visit will return you to the
area’s historical past. North of Schuylerville is a loop through
the country that offers relaxed riding with little traffic. The
directions provided are a guide. Explore the other roads as time
permits, most are great for bicycle touring and you won’t get
lost. Returning to Schuylerville the route parallels the Hudson
River back to the bridge. As of this writing road construction
was in process with various projects that would allow even
better access to river views. Follow the directions or explore a
little around the canal lock.
Leaving Schuylerville, the Saratoga Monument is on you left, on
Burgoyne Road, and is open seasonally to the public. Situated
on a high bluff on the grounds of Burgoyne’s last camp the
monument offers wonderful views of the Hudson River Valley
prior to the return ride to the Saratoga Battlefield.
