Lake Placid

The Adirondack Mountains in New York State are breathtaking. The Adirondacks, which cover six million acres, are in fact the location of the largest park in the lower 48 states. It covers 5% of New York State. The village of Lake Placid is located in the Adirondacks.

Lake Placid has an incredible beauty that is difficult to match, being surrounded by the massive Adirondack mountains and situated on the crystal-clear lake of the same name. It was chosen to host the winter Olympics twice (1932 and 1980). Lake Placid has a lot of outdoor activities available throughout the year. There is almost never an opportunity to become bored here. Lake Placid is a magical place all year round, but it really shines in the spring, summer, and fall with scenic hiking. Main Street shopping and dining, brilliant fall foliage, and convenient access to the breathtaking. And untainted beauty of the Adirondack Park is made up of 6.1 million acres of trails, rivers, streams, wildlife habitat, and more.
