When you hear someone talking about the great outdoors, they must be talking about the Adirondacks. Breathtaking. Pristine. Words that seem to be exaggerations elsewhere, fit them perfectly. The six-million-acre Adirondack Park - roughly the size of the entire state of Vermont - is a unique patchwork of public and private lands. Lake Placid is the Adirondack's resort recreation center and the Winter Sports Capital of the World. Set in the heart of mountain and lake country, this quaint village was the site of two Olympic Winter Games, in 1932 & 1980. There is a variety of attractions to choose from in the Lake Placid/High Peaks Region which is considered a substantial attraction in itself. Aside from the Adirondack’s visual splendor, they offer natural wonders, Olympic venues for the sports enthusiast, museums for the intellectual and old-fashioned theme parks for the young-at-heart.
