The overview

Independent shops, cozy restaurants, and Olympic history beside Mirror Lake.

Spend an afternoon browsing Main Street before dinner overlooking the water.

The Olympic Museum and speed skating oval make an easy addition to a village day.

Lake Placid village with its mountain backdrop

The village is at its best when you slow down. Browse the outfitters for a new trail map, stop for coffee overlooking the water, and save room for dinner. On winter evenings the lights along Main Street make the walk back to the car feel like part of the trip.
