This is the main attraction and center of Lake Placid. I came in November so the lake wasn't frozen…read moreover yet. If you come when it's frozen, you can ice skate or tobagganing ($5 for kids and double the cost for adults). They have a 30 foot ramp/chute that tobaggans can go on. It looks scary to me but I am sure it's fun for those adrenaline junkies and brave tobagganers. In the summer you can canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddle-board. Ironman competitions take place here too. There are fun ducks and seagulls to look at around the lake. It was more boring during the time that I came since it was too late for summer lake activities and too early for winter lake activities.

Mountain Bikers out there, you're so gonna love these babies!!…read more First, full disclosure, we're not mountain bikers, we're more the hiking type. However, after walking some of these trails today, we're pretty sure Mountain bikers in particular will love them! Currently there are 7 trails to choose from with 3 levels of difficulty. The trails are a multi-purpose landmark for the New York State DEC and are open to mountain biking, hiking, trail running, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and pretty much whatever else you can do without the use of a motor vehicle. The trail we hiked had many cool twists and turns that flowed through a beautiful open forest habitat. Very different from any of the other areas we've hiked in the last week, so if you're in the area give Beaver Brook trails a try. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Special Note: The tract network was built, and is maintained, almost entirely by volunteers. So, please be respectful of their work and other users as you enjoy these trails. List of the current trails and level of effort: Trail 1 - Double Time is 0.6 mile long and is Ranked Easy Trail 2 - Make Believe is 0.8 mile long and is Ranked Easy Trail 3 - Twisted Pine is 0.3 mile long and is Ranked Hard Trail 4 - Safe Bet is 0.4 mile long and is Ranked Moderate Trail 5 - Good Luck is 0.9 mile long and is Ranked Hard Trail 6 - Coniferous is 0.6 mile long and is Ranked Easy Trail 7 - All-In is 3.0 miles long and ranked Hard

In the pamphlet you are very much deceived , you see so many animals that have supposedly been rescued and live here . We were greeted by a kindly gentlemen and he told us about birds and some goats, a bird that was magpie and bluejay mixed and a few other animals. After we entered through a door into the refuge we were told there are no mammals, we continued to listen and soon we're told a story of birds and evolution , this guy made an effort to make CHRISTIANS look stupid for believing that God created these creatures. Needless to say we saw chickens, a goose, some guinea pigs, a falcon , three goats , a turtle , and a snake. This guy shouldn't be able to deceive people , the pamphlets should be removed from public places and people should not be led astray. False advertising should be against the law.

If you enjoy nature, are physically strong and love challenges, this trail is for you…read more Free parking at the trail head. The trail is not well maintained. Restroom is only available at the trail head. There are signs at the beginning but signs are missing at the latter part of the trail. So we rely on the ribbons marked by other hikers to find our way. It takes us 3.5 hours to hike up to the Whiteface Mountain parking lot given we are pretty active. The last section of hike requires walking on a very narrow path on the edge of a cliff without any barrier. It is a challenge to me because I have acrophobia. However, the scenes near the top of the mountain area beautiful and totally worth of all the effort. Be prepared the hike going down will take another 2.5 hours according to other hikers. We decided to run along the highway which is 12KM which took us 1.5 hours.

I've gone up in rainstorms, and it's cool but there isn't much visibility. You can take the elevator to the summit, or you can walk up the boulders and stairs. These have gotten very slippery; a few people fell when I was there the last time. Be careful. I highly recommend coming here if you're nearby. They charge $25 per car, and there is a military discount available too.

We discovered by unplugging an alarm clock that was going off around 2:00 a.m. that the light in that plug had electrical tape all around the end of it with wires poking out. We unplugged that too. We woke to 62 degrees in the room although the thermostat was set on 69 degrees. The outlet on that wall wouldn't work in the morning, although it worked the night before. We had to move the coffee pot to the opposite wall to use it. We packed up and left around 9:00 and our room was already unlocked (it was a code to get into the room). I left a note on the desk but haven't heard back from the motel.
