We found this to be an enjoyable way to learn about the “camps” of Lake Placid. For many many years very wealthy people have escaped in the summer to Lake Placid to their “camps” (local lingo for mansions with boat houses) for the three months during which they can be accessed by boat – there is no access when the lake freezes. The lake scenery with the high peaks of the Adirondacks in the background is lovely.
The tour was about an hour long. Website says that they do not take reservations – but do buy your ticket in advance as they do sell out – at least when we were there in the fall.
