The Village of Saranac Lake is located in the heart of the magnificent High Peaks Region and is famous for its many beautiful lakes and streams including the Upper, Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes, Kiwassa Lake, Oseetah Lake, Lake Flower and Upper and Lower St. Regis Lakes. These waters offer some of the finest fishing in the country and are home to many native species of trout, bass and pike. The Saranac Lake region offers visitors a rich variety of historic, artistic and cultural attractions. Saranac Lake is also famous for its magnificent 'Great Camps' dating back to the golden era of the early 1900's. These sprawling compounds epitomize what is known today as the rustic 'Adirondack style' representing a unique chapter in Americian architectural history. These rustic camps served as huge retreats for wealthy families like the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts for half a century. Today, visitors can actually tour some of these 'Great Camps' and experience their spectacular beauty first hand.

National Trust Names
Saranac Lake, New York, One of America's Dozen Distinctive Destinations 2006.
Annual List Promotes Heritage Tourism:

Washington, D.C. (March 7, 2006) First settled in 1819 in what was then untouched wilderness, Saranac Lake, N.Y., is a timeless Adirondack village, nestled among pristine lakes, evergreen forests and nearby mountains. Once a logging community, the town was reinvented in 1876 when a physician in the last stages of tuberculosis came to Saranac Lake to live out his final months. Happily, the doctor, an outdoor enthusiast, not only survived but was restored, and Saranac Lake began a new chapter as one of the country’s pioneering health resorts. The village grew into a thriving community, home to a world-renowned sanatorium, a dozen bustling hotels and a host of “cure cottages,” large boarding houses sporting several wide porches, many of which are still prominent landmarks around town. Today, Saranac Lake’s downtown is charmingly preserved with period architecture and a host of restaurants, shops and art galleries and a variety of delightful accommodations such as the 1920s landmark Hotel Saranac, a member of the National Trust’s Historic Hotels of America. For more than a century, visitors have flocked to Saranac Lake's Winter Carnival, a week-long festival that includes sporting events, performing arts, parades, fireworks and the world famous Ice Palace. The Adirondack High Peaks Wilderness Train takes riders on a 20-mile round trip from Saranac Lake Union Depot to Lake Placid Station, where visitors can tour the site of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games. With miles of trails and waterways to explore and unlimited outdoor pursuits including hiking, boating, swimming, golfing, biking and fishing, Saranac Lake is still the perfect prescription for mind, body and soul.

Saranac Lake is also well known for its fresh mountain air and rejuvenating climate! In the early 1900's the Village of Saranac Lake became an international destination and pioneer health resort for people from all walks of life suffering from Tuberculosis. Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau discovered the cure for Tuberculosis gaining worldwide attention for this quaint mountain village.

Today, the organization known as Historic Saranac Lake, an architectural

Historic Baker Chapel

preservation group, has done a remarkable job preserving and recognizing the 'Cure History' of Saranac Lake through the nomination of 170 properties to the National Register of Historic Places. Current projects include management of the restored Union Depot as a tourist, transportation and recreation center, and the restoration of the Bela Bartok Cabin and Dr. E.L.

More photos of Saranac Lake:

The Winter Carnival's colorful history can be traced all the way back to the late 1800's when Saranac Lake was a world-famous health resort. In 1897, the first year of the winter carnival, Saranac Lake was already an established community and center of commerce in the Adirondack Tri-lakes region. Its clean mountain air and high altitude provided rejuvenation for hundreds of tuberculosis sufferers drawn from all over the United States and Canada. To ease the long, cold Adirondack winters and to promote outdoor activities and sports, the first "Mid-Winter Carnival" was created by the Pontiac Club in 1896. This was a two day event filled with skiing, skating, parties and a celebratory parade down Main Street.
The rest is history!
