LAKE PLACID FAVORITES!

Over the past 11 years, I traveled to Lake Placid over a dozen times. Especially over the past 5 years or so, my wife and I have discovered new things to enjoy every time we visit. Hiking in the high peaks is always a must. But apart from the hiking there are some great things that we enjoy doing in town.

LODGING

The only place that we stayed at has been Lake Placid Bay Inn. It's located on the bay as the name says. There are great views of Whiteface Mt. from the room. It's a 5 minute walk to Main Street. The rates are reasonable all year round and the facility is accommodating and clean. 

CANOEING/KAYAKING

Another great thing about the Inn is that it has canoes and rowboats that you could use to go out on the lake. 

DINING OUT

One of the first places that we go to for lunch is the Blue Mountain Deli & Creperia. They have 46 plus sandwich options as well as crepes. So it's a great option for breakfast or lunch. 

For dinner we usually try out new places every time we are in town. We don't have any favorites but we have enjoyed every place where we dined out. 

WINDOW SHOPPING/SHOPPING

There are many stores on Main Street and sometimes it's just fun to walk down the street and enjoy the weather without actually walking into the stores. On the other hand I have found some really cool deals and collectible things (coca-cola) while checking some stores. We even bought some rare jerky meat from kangaroo, alligator, and buffalo. Kangaroo was surprising very delicious. 

SCENIC

One could just simply go to Lake Placid to soak up the beauty that surrounds the town. There are mountains to the north and south with lakes and rivers throughout. Walking down Main Street provides the best views.
