If you find yourself in Saratoga for any reason at all (horses, golf, family, passing through,…read moreetc.), do yourself a favor and spend some time in the park. I've actually been to Saratoga several times before, and this was my first visit to the park, and it is BY FAR my favorite thing in Saratoga. The grounds are beautiful, and surprisingly large. The large buildings that house the Roosevelt Spas and more are well-kept, with the areas around them landscaped and looking like a beautiful college campus. There are also miles of hiking trails, equestrian trails, fishing, biking, disc golf, boating, and more. We weren't quite prepared, but walking around the park was enough. The tall trees, the running water...I just needed a little nature in my life. There is a reason that the Saratoga Springs are known far and wide, and the weirdly salty, effervescent water purportedly has a ton of beneficial properties. It also creates strange and wonderful rock formations, and you'll come across a few spigots where you can taste the water, and see how it affects the rock around it. I highly recommend doing a bit of exploring.

What an incredibly beautiful Park. Has something for everybody! Even a beautiful golf course that I…read moredid not get to take advantage of. But the park itself with the mineral Springs and the mineral spring River running through it and stops all along the way where you can taste the different Springs and the pet friendliness! This is a gorgeous amazing spot and I will be coming back here over and over

My friends and I decided to go to The Lodge on Harrisburg Lake for our annual cottage trip. This…read morelocation was chosen purely because it was halfway between both groups of people coming (in between Montreal and New York). If you are arriving there after work try to get there before it gets dark because finding the location in the mountains was quite tricky at night. THE CHALET: The Lodge has a few chalets and a main lodge with rooms. We rented out Chalet Wolf which sleeps 12 guests for 3 nights. It was only $200 per night and we had 10 people. The chalet itself was a lot bigger and nicer than we expected, the photos on their website does not do it justice. It has 3 stories, large parking space (can fit 3 cars). The kitchen was huge with all the equipment you will need, also had a BBQ on the patio. There 2 baths + 1 washroom, and many rooms with beds, it comfortably slept the 10 of us. AMENITIES: The lodge itself has a restaurant/bar where you will often find the owner, and his friendly Dalmation. There is a pool (not heated), pool and ping pong tables at the bar, a basketball and a tennis court. There is a small lake in walking distance, where you can ask the owner for his canoes, kayak and pedal boat (all free of charge). The lodge is surrounded by lots of space, we think it used to be a ranch of some sort, where we tossed around a frisbee. SERVICE: The owner is Polish and we believe he manages the business with his family. He is extremely friendly and helpful. We asked him for things like a large pot (to cook curry) and he got it for us right away. LOCATION: The location is right at the Adirondack mountains. We did not go exploring but it is a very quiet and spacious cottage country. There are also hiking trails but you need to drive there (~5km away). There is also a town not very far away where you can buy groceries but everything closes very early. The only complaint would be the amount of mosquitos/flies. It can be very overwhelming. We continuously drenched ourselves in mosquito repellant and wore clothing to cover but even then the deer flies (or whatever they are) had a good feast with us. The bites can get very irritating. All in all we had a lot of fun at this trip and best of all it was very affordable for the quality of the stay. I would definitely recommend for a large group of friends or families to stay at Chalet Wolf. They also have smaller and bigger chalets.

Great WiFi inside. Small tv/dvd player. Spacious, decorated simple and warm. The bedroom windows had little or no covering which made sleeping difficult. My kids were up at first light. Next time we stay we will be bringing sleep masks. Water pressure was great! Super hot water too. The staff are all extremely friendly and warm. They even had our chalet ready for us 4 hours early. We had dinner at the lodge one night. It was amazing! The Italian wedding soup...I had 3 bowls. My husband loved the cutlets and the chunky mashed potatoes were so delicious. And it was enough to feed an army. Everything is home made and extremely fresh. Comfort food. We also had breakfast the day we left. The pancakes were sensational. Bacon, eggs...absolutely delicious. There are a lot of bugs. A lot. Bring bug spray. The lake is absolutely beautiful and clean. Be prepared it is a steep short walk down a hill. My mother got winded on the way back up (she is a smoker). We ended up driving a little further down the road to a spot where we could drive up to so she wouldn't be left out. We will definitely be back. We really liked not being in Lake George which is a tourist trap. It was quiet and we had beautiful weather so we were able to be outside a lot. We loved the charm of the place as well as the staff. We loved having our own private house and the price is unbeatable. We packed (almost) everything we needed so we wouldn't have to do the long drive to town. Of course I forgot batteries and we had to do it. After we checked out we ended up heading to lake George to waste time and avoid traffic. It was so overwhelming and overstimulating after being in such a serene place at the lodge that we couldn't wait to leave. Thank you for such a great relaxing stay. We can't wait to be back!

The address is listed as Scout Road, and that's where you'll find 3 parking lots. But Lot #1 is in front of a campground which was (and maybe still is) a boy scout campground. Signs indicate where the park is. However, the map you get on Yelp is shows the park location to be about a half-mile to the east, across NY Route 50, off Ruggles Road, which appears on a "regular" Google map to be the back of a residential area and the Wilton Sands preserve. So allow yourself a few extra minutes when starting your first visit here. On the plus side, on weekdays, you should have no problem with parking or space to walk.

We did the early bird special at 9:30 am to save money and it's also worth it! Such a great offer!!! I highly recommend getting the tube with a backrest/headrest so that you have back support during your tubing experience. It makes a huge difference with comfort and it only cost an extra $7. Erin was a very good bus driver she made the ride pleasant and safe!!! Lauren was a great instructor and leader during the experience. She also was very friendly to speak with. I needed water shoes, so it was great that I can buy water shoes on the premises and they were able to charge the card I used to make the online reservations which is convenient because I didn't bring my wallet.
