Art Devlin running as its proud Mayor, the town beams with a warmly welcoming aura you simply cannot resist. Devlin cordially extends an open invitation to those who haven't yet had the pleasure of experiencing Lake Placid. According to him, the excitement in this charming town is ceaseless, blooming with sweeping activities all year round, spring through winter. While Lake Placid is home to the Winter Olympic events, it's surprising yet delightful to realize that the town experiences the hustle of visitors more in the warmth of summer than in the biting cold of winter. This fact stands as a testament to its sheer blessed versatility. And there's no cause to fret, activity choices are anything but limited!

A whopping 80% of visitors veer off to embark on adventurous dog sledding sessions, lively snowmobiling rides, and peaceful strolls down Main Street. So, whether you're an adrenaline junkie craving a heart-thumping adventure, or a tranquil soul yearning for a serene walk, Lake Placid has a slice of heaven ready for you. No wonder Devlin feels such ardor for his hometown – it’s a natural paradise wrapped in a warm, friendly community. With a heartfelt note, Devlin encourages everyone to...
