2. Grab a Cold One at a Local Brewery

3. Learn About the History of Lake Placid
For a historical outing head over to abolitionist John Brown’s farm house. John was a celebrated figure in the fight against slavery. Visitors can walk back in time with a visit to John Brown Farm State Historic Site, as well as his grave. A few trails also offer relaxing walks around the scenic property.
4. Glide Along the Water
Getting on the water is the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon in Lake Placid. Gather with your friends on a pontoon, try paddleboarding, or glide across the water on a kayak on Mirror Lake or Lake Placid. The Canoe Club at the lodge offers complimentary kayaks, canoes, and paddle boats.
