Rent a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard and explore Mirror Lake right in the center of Lake Placid village. The lake is small enough to paddle around in a couple of hours and motorboats are not allowed, keeping the water calm and quiet. Kids love the independence of paddling their own kayak along the shoreline looking for fish and turtles. The backdrop of Whiteface Mountain reflected in the still water on a calm morning is iconic. Several outfitters on Main Street offer hourly rentals.
