Things To Do
Lake Placid Olympic Ski Jumping Complex
Want to see a really tall structure? Want to sit in a pee wee sled? Want to fight with a friend over who gets to stand on the #1 spot on the medal platform? This is the place for you.
John Brown Farm State Historic Site
This is the site of abolitionist John Brown's family homestead, and the place where his remains--along with other members of the crew that raided Harper's Ferry--are interred. For those with an interest in history, this is a must-see spot.
High Falls Gorge
A beautiful place to take a walk through the woods, and to appreciate the amazing falls!
Whiteface Mountain
Drive to the top of Mt Whiteface for some top-notch views of Lake Placid and the surrounding mountains and lakes (on clear days, you can see all the way to Vermont!). There is a short but fairly steep climb up a rocky path (with hand railings available) once you've parked near the top; there is also an elevator that can take visitors to the top, though you should call in advance to confirm the elevator is working.
