Olympic Center and Olympic Museum

Olympic Ski Jumping Complex

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.

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.

Saranac Lake Golf Club

Route 86, Ray Brook 518-891-2675 Nestled halfway between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, this course is a challenging, fair and fun test for any level golfer. The 2,995 yard, par 36 layout has a course rating of 67 when factored on two 9-hole circuits from the white tees. But don’t be deceived by its relatively short track, as there are rolling fairways, gullies, hills, and elevated greens to negotiate as well as the signature creek that crosses 5 holes and protects 2 greens. In addition to an enjoyable round of golf, you’ll marvel at some spectacular Adirondack scenery as the course borders on the Saranac Lakes Wild Forest Area. Complete your round with a visit to the clubhouse bar and banquet hall with panoramic views of the mountains, woods and golf course.

Saranac Inn

County Route 46, Saranac Lake 518-891-1402 The Saranac Inn Golf Club, located between Lake Clear and Tupper Lake, has arguably the finest conditioned greens in the Adirondacks and is on every visitors “must play” list. Another Seymour Dunn masterpiece (in fact, he called Saranac Inn his finest work), Saranac Inn is best-known for its exquisite putting surfaces — even the three-tiered ninth, a reachable par-5 where your birdie — or eagle — putt always seems to be up or down one tier. This is a course that grabs your attention early, with a 408-yard opener, and keeps it throughout, with long-ish par-4s and a delightful blend of par-5s and par-3s. There’s a rhythm to Saranac Inn, with splendid conditions, a friendly atmosphere and a peaceful setting off Upper Saranac Lake.

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.

Lake Champlain/Ticonderoga/Schroon Lake Regions Adirondack Daily Enterprise / Adirondack Vacation Guide • Summer/Fall 2017

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.
