Sunshine, fresh air, and endlessly fun woods and waters

Lake Placid abounds with stunning hiking, mountain biking, birding, paddling, golfing, and exploring! As the largest nature preserve in the lower 48 states, there’s no limit to the unforgettable adventures you’ll have, no matter how big or small. Whether you're just going for a casual nature walk or a 16-mile kayak trip, get outside and enjoy all that summer has to offer! Looking for solitude? Mid-week hiking (especially in the morning) brings some of that essential quiet time in the woods.

The adventure doesn't stop when you emerge from the wilderness, either. The season’s biggest events, attractions, and experiences are all accessible right from Main Street.  Downtown is always busy, aside from our piping hot events calendar. All season long, you'll find boutique shopping, art expos, and a diverse culinary scene to be witnessed at every restaurant, pub, and cafe. There's too much to do for just one day, so stay awhile and enjoy everything this mountain town has to offer.
