A two minute walk takes one to 45 holes on three different golf courses designed by Scotsmen for the original Lake Placid Club. Those same two minutes will get you 15 clay and hard surface tennis courts. Three minute's walk will get you to a private beach on Mirror Lake. The golf courses are criss-crossed with marked hiking trails which take one up into the mountains. In the winter those same golf courses and hiking trails are groomed for cross country skiing. The Olympic mountain, Whiteface, is a 15 minute drive. For the less athletic, the shops, outlet stores, museums, movie theaters and restaurants of Lake Placid are a five minute walk. If one continues through the town and around Mirror Lake, those two plus miles also afford some bragging rights. The two winter Olympics that were held in Lake Placid are never far from site or mind. Many of the 1980 Olympic facilities are still in use. One is able to watch ski jumping, ice skating or bobsledding in the winter or the summer!
