Tucked away in the heart of the Adirondacks’ High Peaks region in Upstate New York, Whiteface Lodge feels like a warm hug from the past. With its rustic timber design inspired by the historic Great Camps of the Gilded Age, the Lodge is an experience your whole family will remember. Just a short walk from the charming village of Lake Placid, the Lodge is surrounded by six million acres of protected Adirondack Park, making it a perfect four-season getaway.
During the warmer months, families can soak up the sun and scenery on endless mountain trails, try their luck fishing, or feel the thrill of whitewater rafting. The Lodge’s Canoe Club on Paradox Bay offers free access to kayaks, canoes, pedal boats, and more, or you can set out on a classic Hackercraft or pontoon boat cruise for a fee. Prefer to stay on land? Grab a racket for a game of tennis or pickleball, shoot some hoops, or tee off at one of five nearby golf courses.
Back at the Lodge, you’ll find plenty of indoor fun, too. The heated indoor/outdoor pool is always a hit, and the game room is packed with everything from ping pong and air hockey to foosball and billiards. There's even a two-lane, old-fashioned bowling alley.
Movie lovers of all ages will appreciate their private 56-seat theater, with three daily showings and fresh popcorn. Whether you're winding down after a long day or just need a moment to relax, it's the perfect family-friendly touch.
Need a little time to recharge away from the kiddos? Complimentary yoga classes, help you reconnect with yourself in body and mind, set to uplifting music. The Spa at Whiteface Lodge offers 5,700 square feet of serene luxury, inspired by the Adirondacks’ natural beauty, and ranked among the Top 100 Spas in North America by Condé Nast Traveler.
And of course, no day at Whiteface Lodge is complete without a stop at the Ice Cream Parlor, open from 5:30PM to 9:30PM daily. Whether you're a kid or just a kid at heart, it's the perfect sweet ending to your Adirondack adventure.
