Spring in Lake Placid: A Quieter Season at High Peaks Resort

Spring in Lake Placid is the Adirondacks at their most unhurried. The ice is loosening its hold on Mirror Lake, afternoons stretch longer, and Main Street slows to a pace that lets you actually notice things again. It's one of the best times to visit High Peaks Resort: fewer crowds, cooler mornings, and easy access to low-level hiking, dining at Dancing Bears Restaurant, and walks along the lake. Come for a spring getaway in the Adirondacks before summer arrives.

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 spring day on Main Street or a morning hike into the still-cool air, you choose which version of the Adirondacks you come home to.

Resort Amenities

Spring in Lake Placid moves at its own pace, and so can you. Take a swim in one of our two indoor pools, walk the path along Mirror Lake, or settle in fireside at Dancing Bears Restaurant after a day on the trails. Come June 15, our two outdoor pools open and complimentary watercraft return to Mirror Lake for the summer season. Planning a winter visit? Complimentary snowshoes and our full winter program return when the snow does.
