Olympic Center and Olympic Museum

5486 Cascade Road, Lake Placid 518-523-8830 At the Olympic Jumping Complex, you’ll see up close the ramp that ski jumpers launch from before flying over the length of a football field. Take the Lake Placid Olympic Jumping Complex elevator to the observation deck of the K-120 meter jump. At the top you will find a panoramic view of the Adirondack High Peaks as you stroll through the ski jumpers’ preparation room. Then get a bird’s eye view of what the jumpers see as they start to accelerate toward the end of the ramp. Aerialists will spring off steep kickers on the Lake Placid freestyle hill in a flurry of twists, turns and tumbles.

2634 Main Street, Lake Placid 518-302-5326 It is often said that Lake Placid is where “miracles are made.” It was at the Olympic Center, in 1980, that the U.S. men’s hockey team toppled the Soviet Union on its way to winning the gold medal. This is where 16-year-old figure skater Sonja Henie won an Olympic gold medal in 1932 and charmed the world. Out front is the speedskating oval, where in 1932 local Olympian Jack Shea and teammate Irving Jaffee each won two gold medals, Eric Heiden won five in 1980. The 1980 Herb Brooks Arena hosts national and international figure skating competitions, USA Hockey events, Smuckers’ Stars on Ice, Saturday Night Ice Shows, national and international level skaters and you never know when a legend like Scott Hamilton or Jim Craig might pop in for a day. And make sure to check out the Olympic Museum for a look at the “miracle” memorabilia and moments that make Lake Placid special.

Discover the Olympic experience

220 Bobsled Run Road, Lake Placid 518-523-4436 Home to the combined bobsled, luge and skeleton track — the only one east of the Rockies—as well as 50 kilometers of groomed cross-country ski trails, snowshoe trails and a biathlon shooting range, the Olympic Sports Complex is a study in extremes. These are thrilling sports to watch, but they’re even more fun to experience in person. ≤Climb into a bobsled and hear the roar of runners over ice as you speed down the track. ≤Click into a pair of skis and glide through the Adirondack woods at your own pace. ≤Head to the rifle range and sharpen your aim.

ne of Lake Placid’s premiere tourism weeks will expand this summer as the 29th edition of the Summit Lacrosse Classic from July 30 to Aug. 5 will introduce a new midweek tournament at the North Elba Athletic Fields. “We have added a new twist to the Lake Placid Summit Classic to accommodate the increasing interest among scholastic girls,” said Ashley Gersuk Murphy, CEO of Summit Lacrosse Ventures. “We’re calling it Summit 7s. This will be a two-day addition to the week on Wednesday and Thursday. Summit 7s will begin midday upon conclusion of scholastic Wednesday, and end by Thursday afternoon. The 7s will feature approximately 20 teams in a fun, fast, and competitive small-field format.” The addition of Summit 7s will now see the total number of teams increase to 357 over four separate events this summer. In all, Summit Lacrosse Ventures anticipates bringing 21,873 players, family members, organizers, officials, sponsors and vendors in tournaments and events that will begin in late June and conclude in early August.

Tournaments in Lake Placid At the North Elba athletic fields in Lake Placid High Peaks Summit Classic, June 23-24 Lake Placid Summit Youth Classic, June 25-27 Lake Placid Summit Classic, July 30-Aug. 5 Summit 7s, Aug. 1-2

As usual, the Classic opens with the scholastic division, moves on to the new Summit 7s, and then brings on the adults and masters athletes, both men and women. Summit Lacrosse Ventures will make its season return to Lake Placid with the High Peaks Summit Classic on June 23-24. This is the second year for the High Peaks tournament, born from the demand by the over 18 and over 30 age group teams that could not gain access to the August event. There will be 18 teams, including a First Responders division. As the High Peaks Summit Classic concludes, the Lake Placid Summit Youth Classic, now in its third year, comes to town June 25-27 featuring 52 teams of first and second grade competitors. Over the course of the entire SLV season in Lake Placid, the spectrum of ages will range from seven and eight

years old, to 65 and older. The annual Northstar Invitational, a lacrosse combine for scholastic women, is set for July 23-26 with 10 teams participating at Northwood School in Lake Placid. The coaching staff is impressive, coming from many of the top colleges in the nation. The invitational stresses on and off field skill development, leadership, exposure, lifelong success and camaraderie. Plans are underway to live stream the Major League Lacrosse Legends alumni game on Aug. 3 at 5 p.m., as well as the new Future Stars of Women’s Lacrosse. In addition, tournament organizers will host the United Women’s Lacrosse League’s semifinals on July 30 beginning at 4 p.m., also at the North Elba athletic fields. Spectators are invited to attend any of these events, which are offered free of charge.

Tupper Lake Golf Club

PHOTO — MIKE LYNCH

A Donald Ross design, this course is a scenic mountain course every golfer should be sure to play on his or her next vacation in the Adirondacks. The club was established in 1932. At 6,153 yards, the course provides an interesting and rewarding challenge for both the high and low handicapper. Its tree-lined fairways and wilderness background are very aesthetically pleasing. Glimpses of Big Tupper Lake and the surrounding mountains are spectacular.

Little Wolf Beach and Campground 105 Little Wolf Road Tupper Lake

Operated by the town of Tupper Lake, the Little Wolf Campground & Beach sits along the shore of Little Wolf Pond. The campground features 50 sites, a majority of which have electric water and sewer hookups for larger RVs and campers.

Lake Champlain Region Adirondack Daily Enterprise / Adirondack Vacation Guide • Summer/Fall 2018

ake Champlain is every water lover’s dream come true. Its spectacular setting in the shadow of the Adirondack peaks, its gentle breezes and its comfortable temperatures make it hard to resist sailing, boating or windsurfing these waters. And then there are the uncrowded beaches, the lakeside restaurants, the quaint communities, the historic lighthouses and the full service marinas hugging its 585 miles of magnificent shoreline. You can even watch for Champy — our legendary cousin of the Loch Ness monster.

Naturally awesome From the shores of Lake Champlain to the peaks of the Adirondacks, this region is simply a paradise for visitors in search of nature at its grandest. And it’s all remarkably accessible. There are hundreds of miles of hiking trails, short and long, easy or advanced. Or you can take advantage of one of the dozens of established parks, attractions or tour routes to sample the splendor. Ausable Chasm and High Falls Gorge take you right up close to the surging waters and ancient rocks of the Adirondacks. Point Au Roche State Park and Ausable Point offer year-round trails and a chance to glimpse birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat, as do King’s Bay and Wickham Marsh. The Lake Champlain Birding Trail will help you enjoy one of America’s great birding destinations, as you watch geese, ducks,

herons, raptors and too many other species to mention.

History for all ages Lake Champlain welcomed Samuel de Champlain in 1609, who claimed the area for France. It was the beginning of more than 200 years of struggle between France, Britain and the new American notion for control of what would become one of the most strategic corridors of commerce and power in North America. The Battle of Plattsburgh Bay, the defining battle of the War of 1812, took place on Sept. 11, 1814, at 8:45 a.m. That day began almost 200 years of peace and friendship with our former enemies. Today, the military, social and commercial history of our nation and our region comes alive through a network of museums, historic sites and commemorations that you and your family will want to include in your visit. Among the many historic stops along the “Lakes to Locks Passage ... the Great Northeast Journey” National Scenic Byway are Fort Ticonderoga, one of American’s greatest landmarks, and the fortifications at Crown Point. And be sure to visit the new Battle of Plattsburgh Association and The Battle Of Plattsburgh Interpretive Center, both located on the Old Base Oval in Plattsburgh. The Interpretive Center showcases a diorama of the land and water battles that changed the course of history. Also housed in one of the Old Base buildings is the new

Lake Champlain region

Champlain Valley Transportation Museum, with a collection of artifacts tracing the long history of water and land transportation in the Champlain Valley. Now a bustling economic development zone, the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base lies on hallowed ground, dating back to 1776. The Base was the oldest combat-ready military installation in the country until closing in 1995. It is home to 26 buildings listed on the National Historic Registry. Other aspects of history in our region are preserved and presented at sites like the Kent-Delord House Museum in Plattsburgh, with exhibits interpreting one family’s life in the late-18th through early-20th centuries. The house served as British headquarters during the invasion and occupation of Sept. 6-11, 1812. The Alice T. Miner Colonial Collection & Museum in Chazy has a world-renowned collection that includes a colonial kitchen, samplers, china, furniture and silhouettes from the 18th and 19th centuries. The Clinton County Historical Association and Museum includes such treasures as one of the rifles awarded to the Aiken’s Volunteers, 130 school boys who helped to defend Plattsburgh during the Battle of Plattsburgh. You’ll also want to explore our delightful downtowns and hamlets, including rich architecture, restaurants, and shops of downtown Plattsburgh.
