Where fall is simply perfect
Lake Placid is the perfect place to immerse yourself in fall. Enjoy the beauty of our closing colors doing whatever makes you happiest. Perhaps that's hiking a trail or savoring a flavorful brew. Maybe you'd prefer to stroll down Main Street, take a scenic drive, or simply enjoy the scenery as the backdrop of a fun-filled event. However you imagine it, your perfect fall awaits in Lake Placid.
While you’re here taking in the views, be sure to explore everything else that goes into making the season so special. From cozy fall flannels to lodge-style stays with outdoor-inspired decor, you’ll find it all when you visit our charming mountain town. We know you won't want to leave, but when you shop our unique, locally-owned boutiques you can at least take a bit of Adirondacks home with you.
In addition to the golden views, we have a rich Olympic heritage to share with you. A two-time host of the Winter Games, the Lake Placid Legacy Sites are among the top attractions of our region, and they continue to host vibrant sporting events that draw athletes and visitors alike!
