While visiting the Adirondacks and Lake Placid be sure to include horseback riding for one of your most memorable of your vacation activities. Family run, we offer the gentlest horses in the area and unlike most stables we keep them through retirement. We also run a Horse Rescue, and most of our horses came from auctions and other, unfortunate circumstances. Rides are approximately 45-50 minutes with an additional instructional lesson prior to the ride to help you familiarize yourself with how the horses have been trained and answer any questions you may have. Longer rides available for year 2012. SEI certified helmets provided. Children and Family friendly. We are an easy drive from Saranac Lake, Keene, Wilmington, Plattsburgh, and Essex areas. Walking distance from Main Street in Lake Placid.

45 Holes of Championship Golf - Links Course, Mountain Course, & Pristine 9. The Lake Placid Club Links course was designed in 1909 by the renowned Scottish architect Seymour Dunn. Dunn remained true to his origins, and the Links course represents Scottish Links style golf at its best with bunker-laden fairways, native fescue, and large undulating greens. The Lake Placid Club Mountain course was laid out in 1910 by Alexander H. Findlay who immigrated to the U.S. from Scotland in the early 1880's and became one of the pioneers of golf in America. In 1931 the course was remodeled by Alister MacKenzie, designer of Augusta National – the home of "The Masters". With smaller greens and more tree-lined fairways, this course begs for the straight shot. The engaging design takes full advantage of the scenic vistas and will appeal to players of all levels. It is quite simply the essence of "mountain golf". Pristine 9 Executive Course - A little slice of golf heaven with 7 par 3's and 2 par 4's. The par threes range from 90 to 200 yards in length and have small undulating greens while the par 4's are reachable at 260 and 270 yards, eagles are rare, and birdies fly away with frequent three putts. Moose are known to frequent the Pristine 9 as they love to go for a dip on Hole 7 where the tee shot requires a carry over a pond. Typical round takes about an hour and a half, so it makes for family fun or a quick getaway for lunch on the run. Spectacular Weddings and Special Events: Overlooking the Historic Lake Placid Club Golf Courses, the Golf House offers the most beautiful view of the High Peaks in the Adirondacks. With an open-beamed ceiling, a massive stone fireplace & magnificent antler chandeliers, your Lake Placid special event at our Golf House is the epitome of an Adirondack experience. If you prefer the outdoors the covered pavilion attached to the Golf House gives you the best of both worlds...outdoor feeling while protected from the elements.

"Interesting place. Interesting, responsible, and enjoyable owners. I
have been riding (western style) for 50 years. I have life long
friends that own, love and care for horses. I share the love and
respect of horses with my friends. My wife is an animal lover and I
have encouraged her to rid..."e with me many time in the past. This
establishment seemed like a good thing for my wife and I. I knew the
initial video would be boring but decided I could live with this so I
could enjoy some time being with horses. Wrong, wrong, boy was I wrong.
I listened and learned and I have a different outlook on riding. I
learned the owners are two of the most caring individuals I know. We
had an opportunity to meet and socialize with several horses, an hour
of enjoyable riding, a conversation with another horse lover, and a
new perspective on horsemanship; training; and management. A learning
experience for the the old-hand and an adventure for the novice. An
interaction even the...

"An easy half-day hike for visitors to Lake Placid. It's short and sweet (and sometimes steep) but the payoff is great - views over the High Peaks region and over Heart Lake below. There's a parking fee at the Adirondack Loj below - $10 for the public; $5 for ADK members."
"We visited the Museum for the second time and we had an amazing time. Our kids are 5 and 9 yo and they loved it. This time we spent more time watching all the videos and reading about all the exhibits.
Overall it was a very interesting experience."
