Return to Lake Placid
You were here for the eclipse; so why don’t you get to planning your next adventure with us? There’s always plenty to do, and one trip just doesn’t scratch the surface! Perhaps you’ll indulge in your own wellness retreat, complete with full-service spas, reinvigorating luxury stays, and plenty of wilderness to escape the mundane. Or, totally rough it in the miles and miles of backcountry trails all around the region. Even experience your own Olympic history tour, and witness where the games took place at the legacy sites around town.
Year-round excitement
Home to a range of activities for all ages, Lake Placid is the spot for your perfect summer vacation. This is the time for canoeing, hiking, mountain biking, birding, and boating, all set amongst the incredible scenery of the nearby High Peaks. Fall sets the region ablaze with events and activities. The annual Flaming Leaves Festival celebrates all things fall with live music, decadent goodies, and stunning views at the Olympic Jumping Complex. When you're not busy sipping Oktoberfest drinks or scaling Mt. Van Hoevenberg's scenic hiking trail, feast on the local harvests of Lake Placid’s Main Street.
Winter reminds us just why Lake Placid is America's original winter vacation destination. Blending the perfect balance of snowy adventure and lodge-style luxury, you can book your own cozy cabin, glide across the historic James C. Sheffield Speed Skating Oval, and get into the woods with snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails that will transport you right back to nostalgic winters of old. In spring, you have the best of both worlds. Down in the valleys, experience your first taste of the range with golfing on one of several premiere golf courses. Up in the mountains, savor the chilly altitudes with the last few weeks of skiing on Whiteface Mountain, or take on the challenge of embarking on a spring hike. No matter the season, Lake Placid is humming with excitement to round out every adventure.
