If you have ever wanted to really understand what happened in Sackets Harbor during the War of 1812, a trail on the Battlefield will walk you right through it. 🏛️🍂
The Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site History Trail is a three-quarter-mile loop that winds through the 70-acre historic area, with ten interpretive panels that tell the story of the battles, the naval presence on Lake Ontario, the 1860s Navy Yard, and the importance of preserving what happened here. The trail connects to the Village of Sackets Harbor's War of 1812 Bicentennial Recreation Trail, so there is even more to explore if you want to keep going!
The United States Department of the Interior designated the trail a National Recreation Trail in 2015, a recognition given to trails that demonstrate excellence in design, conservation, and public value.
We welcome you to walk it, jog it, or bike it. Even bring your four-legged friends!
The trail is completely free and open every single day of the year. Rain, shine, snow, fall foliage, whatever the North Country throws at it, the trail is there and so is the history.
Fall is honestly one of the most beautiful times to walk it. The leaves, the open fields, Lake Ontario in the distance. Take an hour and go.
