Things To Do

Lake Placid is home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games. There is something for everyone. Whether you enjoy the outdoors, love history, are a foodie, or a brewmaster, Lake Placid will have something to offer you. We have listed some of our favorite local restaurants, breweries, and activities.
Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort

Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort

5021 New York 86, Wilmington, NY 12997
, (518) 946-2223

While the skiing is not for a couple more months or so (fingers crossed) you can still take the gondola to the top of Little Whiteface. On top you can see all of Lake Placid from the viewing deck. If its a clear day out, opposite of that, you can see Lake Champlain and into Vermont and New Hampshire. I grew up skiing on Whiteface and this place holds many memories for me.

Whiteface Memorial Highway

Whiteface Memorial Highway

Whiteface Memorial Highway, Wilmington, NY 12997

Loved the view from the top of Little Whiteface? Or want to just go all the way to the top, you can drive to the top of Whiteface (yes I said drive). Once to the top you can take a short hike to the top or take the elevator to see the surrounding breathtaking views.

Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum

2634 Main Street, Lake Placid, NY 12946
, (518) 302-5326

Do you remember the Miracle on Ice in 1980? Go to the museum to experience this event again. This small museum full of winter olympic history.

Generations Tap & Grill

Generations Tap & Grill

2543 Main Street, Lake Placid, NY 12946
, (518) 837-5052

This place has the best happy hour in town! (Happy hour all day if you’re a guest of the Golden Arrow) Plus, Jennifer’s knows her way around their bar. Go in for wings and pint, the honey garlic sriracha are a favorite, or get a firetower pretzel.

For all the days along the way
