Exploring New York's Lake Placid

To prove there's more to New York than the Big Apple, we set out to explore upstate New York's beautiful High Peaks region in the middle of the Adirondack Mountains. The area is home to Lake Placid.

Only a five-hour drive from Manhattan, Lake Placid is most famous for hosting two winter Olympics, but beyond the rich winter sports history, you will find an outdoor-lover's paradise. A world-class system of hiking trails, lakes and rivers make Lake Placid and the Adirondacks one of our new favorite places!
