Village of Saranac Lake

Saranac Lake combines an Adirondack lake-and-forest setting with a legacy of medical innovation in a way that reflects its role as a mountain village in northern New York. The Saranac River and Lake Flower run through its center, while wooded slopes define the surrounding terrain. In 1884, physician Edward Livingston Trudeau founded the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium here, helping make the village an important center for tuberculosis treatment; former cure cottages remain part of its streetscape. Its Winter Carnival, held since 1897, is marked by an Ice Palace built each year. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Saranac Lake and the Adirondacks.
