We stay at North Pole Resorts in Wilmington when we go to Lake Placid. The 100 Acre Wood side is the newer addition with 50A and pull-through sites.
For hiking there's the Flume Trail where the Ausable river crosses Rt 86. Further south on Rt 73 gets you into the High Peaks area for more strenuous hikes. An easy climb in Lake Placid is Cobble Hill, the trailhead is off Mirror Lake Drive.
DW likes shopping in Placid, but you'll find me at Steak and Seafood having a microbrew.
The boat cruise around Lake Placid is something you should do once.
Parking in Placid can be a real pain, good luck. But there's a trolly that runs around town if you have to park far away.
