Area Attractions

The Saranac Lake and Lake Placid region contains many of the Adirondack high peaks and thousands of lakes to hike into for a quick swim. It's a short hike up Mount Baker from Little Nell or the main house on Moody Pond, offering one of the best views of wild forest, mountains, and lakes. Saranac Lake has its very own hiking program called the ADK 6'ers. “A Mountain for Everyone,” whose mission is to introduce people to the tri-lakes part of the Adirondack Park. The six mountains are McKenzie Mt., Ampersand Mt., Scarface Mt., Haystack Mt., St. Regis Mt., and Mt. Baker. Find trail maps and detailed information at http://saranaclake6er.com/6er-trail-guide/

The over six million acre Adirondack Park in Northern New York abounds with everything for the snow thrill seeker, from world-class downhill skiing on some of the highest peaks in the Eastern US at Whiteface Mountain and cross-country skiing on the Olympic trails at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Cross Country & Biathlon Center to challenging cross-country treks through forever wild backcountry. For the less faint at heart, family-friendly ski centers Mount Pisgah and Dewey Mountain Cross Country Center are located right in Saranac Lake.

Lake Placid, New York, is nicknamed “The Olympic Village.” The village's Olympic sites are open for athletes and visitors and feature a state-of-the-art bobsled and skeleton/luge track at Mt. Von Hovenburg, the Olympic Ski Jumping Complex, Speed Skating Oval, hockey rinks, and the ski slopes of Whiteface Mountain.

The Adirondack Park has 3,000 lakes and ponds and 6,000 miles of rivers and streams, and the Saranac Lake Region boasts some of the finest fishing and paddling waters, ranging from forever wild wilderness to the Saranac River that flows through the center of the Village of Saranac Lake. Landlocked salmon, northern pike, lake trout, and bass are some popular fish species that bring anglers from all over to test their skills.
