Mirror Lake

Reviewed By luvtotravel6768 - Simcoe, Canada

Mirror Lake has it all - wonderful views; calm lake water; a 2.7 mile interlocking brick pathway all the way around, including part of the downtown street; a small sandy beach; a toboggan run in winter right onto the frozen lake!; kayaks to rent; flowers and flowering shrubs in May/June; and I must have forgotten something! We walked the loop 3 times during our week's stay, and saw walkers, joggers, families, mom's with strollers! Mirror Lake is well worth the stay in Lake Placid!

Lake Placid

Reviewed By emilyy466

Lake Placid is probably my favorite town. The people here are so kind and welcoming. It honestly feels like a second home from the minute you get there. It has something for everyone. Sports enthusiasts will enjoy the Olympics complex and the history, readers will enjoy the independent bookstore on the main street, foodies will love the choices for restaurants and nature lovers have the full 46 peaks and more to discover.
