Question

How can I get to Lake Placid, NY?

Answer

The easiest way to get to Lake Placid, NY is to drive. Once you are in town, you can navigate to Camp Green Top (Madison's family camp) by getting onto Whiteface Inn Road, which is off of Route 86. From Whiteface Inn Rd, you can reach a parking lot on Chipmunk Lane which is a minute's walk to Camp Green Top. If you are flying, the two nearest airports are in Albany NY or Burlington VT; from there, you will need to rent a car to reach Lake Placid. The drive from either city will be about 2-2.5 hrs. The trip from Burlington, VT to Lake Placid, NY includes a ferry ride, which you will need to account for in your travel plans.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

For the ceremony, please wear something snazzy that makes you feel like yourself! Think colorful cocktail clothes, with layers for the weather. The ceremony will take place outdoors in the early evening, under a covered porch. One thing to keep in mind is that the weather in Lake Placid can change on a dime. In early September, the daily highs are typically in the low 70s, and the daily lows can get down into the 40s at night. So, in the evening, come with something toasty to toss over your fancy duds!
