Saranac Lake is much more than its world-famous Ice Castle (built of ice blocks for the town's annual Winter Festival). The area is loaded with hiking trails and canoe routes, with outfitters to help you along. You can spot the local wildlife on the Saranac River Cruise Line, downhill-ski at Mount Pisgah, and cross-country-ski at Dewey Mountain. Golfers and cyclists will find plenty of enjoyment here.
Saranac Lake also has its quiet pleasures. Its palette of unique shops and restaurants is amazing. The Pendragon Theater offers live professional performances to delight all drama lovers. Literary types will want to peruse the Robert Louis Stevenson Cottage. Train lovers can travel to Lake Placid from Union Station through spectacular mountains on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. Riders of the Adirondack Carousel, instead of riding horses, will clamber atop some local Adirondack fauna: Mosquitoes, anyone?
