A Guide To The Saratoga "Springs" ...
- There are currently 17 public mineral springs in various locations throughout Saratoga
- Each one is naturally carbonated
- No two springs taste exactly alike - each one produces its own unique mineral content, imparting its own distinct flavor
- The purported health benefits vary from spring to spring... some are said to help with skin ailments, assist in digestion, or even strengthen the blood!
Take your own private tasting tour! The springs are easily accessible however, be sure to bring your own cups or water bottles! Tip: Stop by the Saratoga Springs Visitors Center and pick up a brochure on the mineral springs with more information on taking a self-guided tour!
