BIKE TOUR OF THE SPA STATE PARK
Join Linda Harvey for a bike tour of the National Historic Landmark Saratoga Spa State Park to explore its historic development from 1910 to the present, highlighting its significant architecture and landscape. Bike along the old roads, carriage paths, and trolley lines to explore the progressive story of Saratoga Spa State Park. This includes the protection of the springs, the creation of the reservation, and its development as a world-class spa, which today is a major cultural and recreational destination. The tour starts at the early bathhouses on South Broadway, known as Lincoln Park, then travels over to the little known springs on Route 50, and down to the scenic Geyser Park area. Along the way some of the changes made in the 1960s will be discussed. The tour concludes at the complex of Beaux Arts buildings in the heart of the park.
Tour meets in front of the National Museum of Dance, Hall of Fame & School of The Arts, 99 South Broadway. Bring your bike or rent one in advance of the tour through a CDPHP Cycle! Starts at 10:30am.
