LAKE PLACID â Lake Placid appears to be in for another busy summer season this year as tourism officials expect a continuation of last yearâs rubber-tire travel trend.
Lake Placid is almost always busy in the summer. The village and town of North Elba host a variety of large-scale sporting events; itâs in close proximity to the High Peaks Wilderness, popular with hikers; and its Main Street is walkable with a variety of businesses and restaurants. Itâs also been a popular vacation destination for generations. Last year, it was unclear if the usual influx of tourists in the summer would still come because of the coronavirus pandemic, and also because the Canadian border was closed to nonessential travel. But in part because Lake Placid is easy for many New Yorkers to drive to, the season was as busy as ever.
