A five mile loop trail that follows the red, orange, and blue markers of the Saratoga Spa State Park. Much of this trail is paved but the blue trail is a beautiful forested section with a wetlands overlook. This loop does a great job highlighting the diversity that can be found in the park between woods, wetlands, and open meadows.

This loop starts from the Victoria Pool/Golf course parking lot. This lot offers free parking year-round. A series of single track, wide paths, and some pavement brings you by the “Island Spouter” geyser and “Orenda” mineral spring. The route is mostly flat with a few steeper sections mixed in along the way.

The Peerless Trail begins from the parking area for the pool and loops around the complex. The trail mostly follows the perimeter of the forest and passes through open fields. In addition to the pool, there is also a playground and a picnic area along the way. The trail is marked in orange on park maps.
