Village of Lake Placid

Lake Placid has served as a mountain resort in New York’s Adirondack region since the late 19th century. The village sits beside Mirror Lake amid the Adirondack Mountains, while Lake Placid itself lies just to the north. It gained an enduring place in sporting history by hosting the Winter Olympic Games in 1932 and again in 1980; the latter included the “Miracle on Ice” ice-hockey match at the Olympic Center. Olympic sites, lakeside walks and forested roads give the compact community a distinctly four-season character, from winter sport to summer paddling.
