The American fortification associated with the Saratoga campaign is Fort Ticonderoga.

Situated at the southernmost point of Lake Champlain, this fort was a pivotal military outpost during the early phases of the Revolutionary War. However, the battles of Saratoga did not take place directly at Fort Ticonderoga, its earlier conquest by American soldiers in 1775 provided critical artillery and supplies that helped the American effort during the campaign. Because of its advantageous location, the fort had control over the rivers, which affected military planning and supplies. During the Revolutionary War, Fort Ticonderoga served as a symbol of American tenacity and strategic significance.
