More than scenery

That's right! Our natural scenery is a year-round attraction, but there's more to this mountain village than its mountains.

Enjoy history with a self-guided tour of the village's unique "cure cottage" architecture, or join a walking tour that includes a stop in the Saranac Laboratory Museum. While you're downtown, visit the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation to learn all about one of the most fascinating mammals in the Adirondacks. Take a quick ride out of town to Paul Smiths, home of the Paul Smith's College Visitor Interpretive Center, an amazing location with trails through different habitats with interpretive signage.

As an added bonus many of the attractions listed below regularly host some of the best events happening in the Adirondacks! It's easy to find something fun to do in Saranac Lake!

 

In Saranac Lake, we love our history. From the region's earliest inhabitants -- the Iroquois people who hunted here -- through the first 19th century settlers to the development of the village as a health resort, Saranac Lake has plenty of stories to...

With 3,000 lakes and ponds and 30,000 miles of rivers and streams, there is definitely no shortage of places to paddle in the Adirondacks. And paddling at the Paul Smith's College VIC is the perfect way to explore some of those lakes!

The Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation is a great way to learn about loons before hiking, camping, paddling, or fishing in the Saranac Lake region.
