We waited in a long line on the ice that is Mirror Lake for a dog sled ride around the lake. It was great fun and worth the wait, but we were sorry we weren't wearing warmer clothes. So fun though!

In general, Lake Placid is one of the most beautiful places. This is our second visit here. The mirror lake is a magical place, especially in autumn and spring when the colors blend in with the atmosphere, come out and stand out in a special way. It's highly recommended to walk around the lake and visit the main road with the stores and restaurants.

This place looks good during the fall. We visited this place last fall. It was an awesome cool place. The mirrored lake is great. A great place to relax and to take pictures. It's a romantic place 🥰. I am in love with this place.
