STILLWATER — Saratoga National Historical Park reports the tour road through the park has reopened as cleanup continues from significant storm damage earlier this month.

Storm debris still litters roadsides, according to the park's Facebook page. Some tour stops and parts of trails have not yet reopened.

Besides trees and brush, mud covered sections of the road and trails following severe thunderstorms on May 4.

National Grid said it sent 2,200 workers to repair the power lines that were toppled by the storm, which at the height of outage knocked out power to more than 200,000 customers around the Mohawk Valley and North Country.

The storm moving west to east took down thousands of trees and power lines from the Utica area to the New York-Vermont border. The National Weather Service said its highest recorded gust came in at Glens Falls Airport at 61 mph.

The Daily Gazette reported officials at the Saratoga battlefield site estimated around 1,000 trees  came down, primarily on the slopes that drop from the park's highlands to the Hudson River, including around British Gen. John Burgoyne's headquarters.

The National Park Service will send an archaeologist to determine whether any artifacts were damaged or uncovered by the storm, Lisa Dittman, the park's chief of interpretation, told the Gazette.

For the latest trail information, call the park at 518-670-2985.
