Warm Water. Open Trails. Long Days.

Summer in Lake Placid means Mirror Lake full of paddleboards and kayaks all morning, the High Peaks trailheads busy through midday, and Main Street's shops and restaurants open for browsing after a day outside. It's one of the best times to visit High Peaks Resort: swim right off the dock, hike a Lake Placid 9er, and grab dinner at Dancing Bears Restaurant without needing a jacket. Come stay while the lake is warm and the trails are clear.

Three Ways to Stay in Lake Placid

High Peaks Resort offers three distinct stays on Mirror Lake, each with its own personality. The Main Resort is our flagship, with contemporary rooms and views of the lake and the High Peaks. The Lake House is mid-century modern and a little bolder. The Waterfront Collection sits right on Mirror Lake. After a full day on the water or a hike up one of the Lake Placid 9er, you choose which version of Adirondack accommodations you come home to.

Resort Amenities

Summer means one thing at High Peaks Resort: pick your water. Summer at High Peaks Resort means all four pools are open, two indoor, two outdoor, along with watercraft on Mirror Lake. Swim, paddle out on the lake, or walk the path along the water before dinner at Dancing Bears Restaurant. Planning a winter trip instead? Snowshoes and our full winter program return when the snow does.
