Shopping

Bring home a piece of the Adirondacks

As you stroll in and out of the dozens of stores on Main Street you may notice that many of the shop owners can be found behind the counters; this is true for so many shops in the Adirondacks. We love where we live, we love what we sell. After you stroll the main strip, be sure to take a ride (by car or by trolley) and visit the shops leading in and out of Lake Placid.

From unique keepsakes to the latest brands, the area is worth exploring — you're sure to find something you just can't leave behind. Strike up a conversation — and be sure to purchase a piece of the Adirondacks and bring your perfect day in Lake Placid home with you. Don't forget to ask for an insider tip or local recommendation to complete your stay in Lake Placid.
