Another great day trip for those making a mini-vacation out of their stay is Lake Placid. It's about 1 hr 20 minutes from the Sagamore and is a gorgeous part of the Adirondack's. It's known for being a Winter Olympics venue and a hub for snow sports and other outdoor activities. In the center of town, Mirror Lake has a trail around the shoreline. You can also check out The Lake Placid Olympic Museum which exhibits artifacts including team uniforms and medals. See website for more details and things to-do.
