Saranac Lake

Recognized as an "All America City", the community of Saranac Lake is a four-season playground for residents and tourists alike.

Located just 15 minutes from Lake Placid, Saranac Lake has a vibe all its own. It is uniquely situated among many waterways, including both the Upper and Lower Saranac Lakes, Lake Flower, Moody Pond and Lake Colby - and that's not all of them!

A popular Adirondack destination, Saranac Lake packs a lot of things to do in a small footprint. There are lots of dining and shopping options, as well as art galleries and lodging options. The Saranac Lake Winter Carnival draws visitors from around the globe and features an ice castle built each year with ice blocks cut directly from Lake Flower. 

Named as the Best Small Town in New York State in 1995 and ranked 11th in the US in The 100 Best Small Towns in America, not only is Saranac Lake a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, it has a heavy historic presence, with 186 buildings in the village listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
