Spring in Lake Placid is full of excitement, romance and family fun. Snowfall in the springtime is not only common — it’s welcome at America’s first winter resort! With or without snow, there’s plenty to enjoy in early spring in Lake Placid, New York.

Visitors can enjoy family-friendly Lake Placid spring activities such as dog sledding, tobogganing and pond hockey. Frozen Mirror Lake in the village of Lake Placid is the home base for area spring activities.

Tobogganing down the Lake Placid toboggan chute onto frozen Mirror Lake is a thrilling ride for all ages. Experience an activity that has been a hallmark of Lake Placid family-fun since the 1960s. The 30-foot chute propels toboggans with as many as four riders up to 1,000 feet across the lake in just a few short seconds. Don’t want to take the plunge? Half the fun is watching others go flying down the chute!
