Swimming adventures in the Adirondacks
The Adirondacks are home to 3,000 lakes and ponds, along with countless streams and rivers, offering the perfect way to cool off on a warm mountain day. Whether you're wading in the shallows or diving right in, there’s nothing quite like the refreshing embrace of Adirondack waters. Swimming is a favorite family activity in Lake Placid, with options ranging from sandy beaches with lifeguards near town to secluded swimming holes fed by cascading waterfalls. No matter your preference, there’s a perfect spot waiting for you.
If you're hiking on state land and come across a mountain stream feel free to take a dip! Be sure to follow posted signs, as some areas bordering state land are privately owned.

Leave No Trace
The magic of the Adirondacks is the result of previous generations taking a long view and protecting the mountains, lakes, and rivers within the Blue Line. That tradition continues today as we support and encourage everyone to practice Leave No Trace ethics, which help protect the lands and waters of the Adirondacks.
