Things To Do

Lake Placid was home to both the 1932 and the 1980 Winter Olympic Games. Whether you are an adventurous hiker, nature lover, foodie, craft beer connoisseur or a museum buff, Lake Placid has something for everyone! If you do plan on visiting more than one of the Olympic sites we have listed (Ski Jumps, White Face, Veterans Memorial Highway, Bobsled etc.,) we recommend purchasing an Olympic Sites Passport. We plan on adding more as the wedding gets closer, but wanted to give everyone a little taste of what Lake Placid has to offer.

Lake Placid Olympic Ski Jumping Complex

5486 Cascade Road, Lake Placid, NY 12946
, (518) 523-2202

As the former home of both the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games, this Olympic site is a must see! Ride a ski lift to the top of the hill and then take an elevator to the top of the ski jump for a truly AMAZING view of the surrounding high peaks.

Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort

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

Ski season may be long over by our wedding date but there are still things you can do at Whiteface. We highly recommend taking a gondola to the top of Little Whiteface. Whiteface also offers mountain biking.

Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum

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

Do you remember the miracle on ice?! That happened in Lake Placid! This museum is small but super cute and has lots of neat Olympic memorabilia, including items from the miracle on ice game.

Whiteface Mountain Veteran's Memorial Highway

Whiteface Mountain Veteran's Memorial Highway

Wilmington, NY 12997

We have yet to hike to the top of Whiteface, but we have driven to the top! If you'd like to experience the top of one of the 46 high peaks without having to hike, Whiteface is for you! There are two options for getting all the way to the top. You can either take an elevator, or you can hike up the last .25 mile or so to the top. The view from up here is NOT to be missed. *Hoping that this road will be open by our wedding date*

Ausable Chasm

Ausable Chasm

2144 Route 9, Ausable Chasm, NY 12944
, 518-834-7454

They call this place the Grand Canyon of the Northeast! We've visited this before, and really enjoyed the views and easy hiking trails. Highly recommended the roughly half hour drive to check this place out!

Smoke Signals

2489 Main Street, Lake Placid, NY 12946
, (518) 523-2271

We can't say enough good things about the food and drinks here! Order one of everything...or at least order the beef brisket! These guys are only open for dinner, so if you're just in town Friday night, you'll have to make the trip back just to eat here!

Lake Placid Pub & Brewery

813 Mirror Lake Dr, Lake Placid, NY 12946
, (518) 523-3813

Where are my beer and bar food lovers at?! Stop here for either lunch or dinner! Before I got the dreaded Celiac Disease and had to say goodbye to beer, this was my favorite craft beer around. I can't recommend just one because there are so many good ones. I may have had to say goodbye to their beer, but their menu has gluten free options, including my beloved Lake Placid Pub burgers! Come here and have a beer for me!

For all the days along the way
