** We suggest booking sooner than later as this is usually their peak Fall foliage week! It’s also a holiday weekend** There are many hotels in the area. We recommend staying on Main Street as you will find a lot to be within walking distance and most likely will have a lake/mountain view! Late night uber/taxi is hit or miss, best to be within walking distance unless you’re planning to drive to the reception. Below are some hotels we recommend.There are also many Airbnb's within a short driving distance.

After parking, there is an elevator to the summit at 4,867 ft. You can either hike to the summit, or take the elevator that’s carved in the mountain. The hiking path has a rail, the boulders can have slippery spots so be careful. There is a toll entrance fee, $25 for driver, + $20 per passenger. Kids under 6 are free. FUN FACT : This is the hiking path where Matt proposed!

Walk the 2.7-mile loop trail around Mirror Lake.Rent a kayak from Easter Mountain Sports for the most peaceful kayaking. It’s a no motor lake!Lake Placid is a larger lake where you can rent a boat and fish for trout, bass, and perch.

Mirror Lake

Take the elevator to the top of the ski jumps, views are beautiful! You may even catch the athletes training. If you want to see a beautiful view but don’t take the trip to whiteface mountain, this is a great easy alternative.

Named the “most walkable street in the country”, find shops, restaurants, bars, coffee, and more! All in walking distance down this strip along the lake. Our wedding events will be happening on this street. Here are a few of our favorite spots: Coffee : The Coffee Bar, Bluesberry Bakery. Shops : Imaginatiom Station. Ice Cream : Emma’s Creamery

Main Street

Big Slide Brewery - We love this spot, they have great food too. Close to the Ski jump. Prison City Brewery - New brewery on Main Street, small spot, good beer. Lake Placid Pub & Brewery - Food & local beer but trash.

Breweries

If you’re looking to summit a mountain, talk to Matt. He’s accomplished a handful of the ADK 46ers. He most likely will go after another while we’re there.
