Your perfect fall getaway awaits

In Lake Placid, fall isn’t just a season, it's a world of perfect adventures and natural beauty. Lake Placid has endless ways to enjoy active outdoor adventures, like mountain biking, paddling, and hiking during the autumn season. There's also playful competition on the golf course with the towering High Peaks as your backdrop or another kind of drive: the scenic variety.

Fall in Lake Placid is both adventurous and relaxing. Hike Mt Van Hoevenberg's scenic trail, or visit the incredibly picturesque Olympic Jumping Complex. After an adventure, head into town, visit one of the local craft breweries, and check out the fall offerings of Lake Placid’s Main Street. After a long day outside or a few hikes, kick back and treat yourself at a spa or salon—you've earned it!

Relax in a natural wonderland

The cozy calm of late fall is perfect for a relaxing stay in Lake Placid. Although the leaves have fallen, the festivities never stop. For a tranquil fall trip paired with all the season’s fun, enjoy relaxing days spent visiting attractions, attend a film festival, or indulge in a peaceful trail hike, free from the hustle of “peak week.” From peak-foliage to pre-winter, Lake Placid is perfect for fall getaways!

Fall is a can't miss season in Lake Placid and the Adirondacks. Start planning your fall getaway today!
