Discover the Adirondacks and Lake Placid, where nature, legacy, and adventure meet
Spanning charming mountain towns and iconic Lake Placid, the Adirondacks in New York are a place where wild beauty, Olympic history, and small town warmth come together. As part of the largest protected park in the contiguous U.S., this region invites exploration of towering peaks, pristine lakes, and deep forests, making it ideal for hiking, paddling, scenic drives, and wildlife watching. Lake Placid’s Olympic legacy, including the legendary 1980 Miracle on Ice, adds cultural depth, while villages like Keene, Ticonderoga, Saranac Lake, and Tupper Lake offer artisan shops, museums, and cozy lodges. Visitors can slow down in an Adirondack chair by the water’s edge or set out on road tours through postcard worthy landscapes. Accessible transportation options like Essex County Public Transportation help make the region easier to explore, and many attractions prioritize inclusive amenities. Here, adventure and tranquility live side by side, creating a destination that feels both inspiring and welcoming. Check more adventures at lakeplacid.com/
