Close your eyes and imagine a beautiful, serene wilderness — rolling hills, high peaks, sparkling lakes, and clear, fresh air. In the midst of all that beauty, Lake Placid is a classic mountain town.
Completely Placid
Lake Placid is an opportunity to enjoy fresh air and majestic views. Fall means exceptional foliage: leaves changing from green to stunning hues of pumpkin orange, sunny yellow, and blazing red set the landscape alight. There's also the crisp, fresh air, apple cider, donuts, and pumpkin everything!
Nature is never far from downtown. The region is home to hundreds of miles of trails that are perfect for a quiet walk in the woods and lakes and ponds ideal for a scenic paddle, plus locally-loved and locally-owned restaurants and shops. Plan your perfect fall day today!
Olympic-sized scenery
From Mount Jo to Lake Placid the lake, Henry's Woods to Mount Van Hoevenberg, Lake Placid is legendary for big views and big scenery, but with a charming, small town twist, which is why we call it home.
