An Adirondack village of lakes, mountain trails, museums and a winter ice palace.
Browse family-owned shops, antique stores, galleries and local eateries in a historic downtown that keeps the village lively.
Ride one of 24 hand-carved animals inspired by the region’s wildlife. The carousel sits inside a 3,600-square-foot pavilion.
Hike 5.4 miles to the 3,353-foot summit for views of Adirondack peaks and forest. It is a more manageable choice than the multi-peak 6er.
Follow a brick-paved path along the Saranac River, across bridges and through parks into downtown. Park on Dorsey Street to start.
Parades, fireworks, carnival attractions and the Ice Palace have made this an Adirondack tradition since 1897.
Paddle a kayak or try a stand-up paddleboard on calm water at the heart of the village, with mountain scenery all around.
