Visit Lake Placid This Spring

Lake Placid may be known as a top ski resort, but spring has its perks, too.

As the weather warms up, and the days get longer, the streets and slopes become a little quieter, making it feel as though you have the whole place to yourself, at times.

With premium lodging at great rates, indoor and outdoor recreation to keep you busy (who says ski season is over?) and award-winning spas to recover and rejuvenate from the gray days of winter, Lake Placid is the perfect spring retreat you never thought of – until now.

For Families and Adventurers

For those looking to discover more of nature’s beauty in the region, Lake Placid offers hikes for all experience levels, many of which lead to stunning waterfalls.

And if the weather is still a little too chilly, you can feed your sense of adventure indoor rock climbing at Mt. Van Hoevenburg Olympic sports complex.
