About

Shenantaha Creek Park

Shenantaha Creek Park is located in the town of Malta, in Saratoga County, New York.

In 1993, the Malta Town Board commissioned the Ruhle Road Park Committee to plan a park on 56.1 acres of land along the Ballston Creek and an abandoned railroad track. The land wasn't accessible to vehicles, so the Town purchased an additional 5.29 acres for access and egress of the park in 1995.
