Very, VERY amazing farm to visit. Robust farm store, excellent locally made food and crafts. The whole crew is down to Earth and freindly. Well worth a visit to stoke up before going into the high peaks (just down the road in Keene/Keene Valley).

Excellent food and excellent(er) liquids. This is a special place in Lake Placid and not to be missed. More adult-friendly than other locations in town. They really know what they're doing, here. Everyone, front of the house and back, are on point. And the outside seating is unmatcheable.

Okay, it's a bit of a hike to get here -- 45 min drive from the farm on back roads-- but dang do they have a spot. Excellent beers and great place to chill in the summer. And they have a great food and music scene there as well. Just make sure to call or check them in advance as they are somewhat seasonal in their offerings. And there are a bunch of great farms in the area...so lots to make the trip worthwhile.

Learn about the original Adirondackers and take some time to expand your mind. The Fadden family are deeply rooted in the north country, and they are happy to share their life, art and perspectives on the north country and ancestral heritage. Not to be missed and just a 5 minute drive from the farm.

NOTE: There is the SKI CENTER, and there's the VETERAN'S HIGHWAY. One is open in winter for skiing & summer for biking, and one is for taking in the vast, splendid summer-time views from the top of the mountain. The parking and access points ARE NOT in the same area...one is on one side of the mountain, the other, on the other side. Internet it! The 'castle' at the top of the mountain is historic, and so are the ski slopes...Jakie-O and JFK took some turns there back in the day.

Olympic, world-class x-country skiing and bobsled track. So much to do and see here. You can sign your life away and bomb down the icey bobsled track, or glisade down perfectly manicured XCski trails. Breath in the Olympic spirit...it's alive and will and Mount VanHo!

And it's not just a family plug, they are really good at what they do and know how to get you set for the greens, blues or blacks, the clothing and apparel to see you through, and they'll make sure you'll look good doing it! But don't take my word for it...motor over to Placid and see for yourself.

City/town information

The capital of the Adirondacks, Saranac Lake is home to the Winter Carnival and a premier gateway to the woods and waters of the north country. True hometown spirit presides over most every element of the town...most business's are family owned and operated, and most everyone knows each other...so don't be afraid to ask a friend you've never met for directions, reccommendations, fantasy football picks, or where that guy is that owns the bar you were just at...pretty much everything is fair game.

A locals' town rich in logging history. Home to the Wild Center, home to one of the best outdoor music venues in the Adirondacks, and home to a whole host of guide services, antique shops and questionable bars spattered in between.

旅行者へのアドバイス

必見

The Saturday farmer's market in Saranac Lake is a must!

Locally grown fruits, vegetables and meats grown to the highest standards. Prepared foods. Arts and crafts. Music and fun abound. Nice, friendly folks and pets.
風習と文化

Being called, "Bud!" can be good OR bad. Tone matters.

Most everyone in the north country is friendly, but everyone has a bad day here and there. Put on a smile, and you'll surely get one back!
役立つフレーズ

"...this and that..."

The phrase gets people through a conversation without going into too much detail. You may hear it a lot if you strike up a conversation with someone at the local watering hole.
