Stillwater, N.Y. -Saratoga National Historical Park will begin construction to improve the South Parking Lot and trailhead access on March 18, weather permitting. The South Parking Lot is located off State Route 32/County Road 423 about ¾ mile west of Route 4. The construction is expected to last roughly 3 weeks, during which time the area will be closed to public access. Once completed, the existing parking area will be vastly improved, including designated parking spots and larger trailer parking spots. Safety was a primary focus in the design and the new lot will feature an improved entrance and exit onto Route 32. Finally, new signage will more clearly indicate the location of the lot from the road. Saratoga National Historical Park Superintendent Leslie Morlock states, "We are excited for this needed investment in the park's infrastructure. This project was specifically designed to provide safe and convenient access for recreational users of the park. Users of the Horse Trail will especially benefit from the improved parking layout." The Horse Trail will reopen to the public once the ground saturation levels improve later in the spring. All closures and updates will be posted at www.nps.gov/sara.
