A Weekend in Lake Placid: Flowers, Reflections, and a Little Nostalgia

Lake Placid, NY is a destination where Olympic history meets Adirondack charm, and nowhere is that magic more alive than at Mirror Lake Inn. From flower-filled window boxes to glassy morning reflections on Mirror Lake, every moment feels like stepping into a postcard. On our latest weekend getaway, we biked the converted rail trail to Saranac Lake, revisited a little Olympic nostalgia, and put my new Fuji X-T5 camera to the test. Whether you’re here for outdoor adventure, lakeside relaxation, or photography inspiration, Lake Placid delivers it all in one unforgettable escape.
