Champlain Valley Trail (Halfmoon to Schuylerville)

This section is on road shoulders and runs past local parks, views of the Hudson River, Revolutionary War sites (including the Saratoga Battlefield and Schuyler House National Historic Parks) and Village main streets where local services are available.

Covering 30.2 km, this demanding trail is best tackled by experienced walkers in good condition. Budget roughly 6 hours and 42 minutes or consider splitting it across two days.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Look for the CVT trail markings to stay on the official route.
