Whether you choose to hike the close-to-town Cobble Hill or take on the Great Range, your pup is the perfect hiking companion. For a more remote experience, leave the High Peaks Region behind and explore some of the other wilderness areas in the Adirondacks.

From the center of town the High Peaks stand proud with amazing views of Marcy, Algonquin, Iroquois, Cascade, and so many more. The Adirondacks is home to the largest trail system in the nation including over 2,000 miles of marked trails. While there are so many reasons to visit Lake Placid, the endless views and backcountry adventures are what sold it for me. Here’s my guide for the perfect pet friendly Lake Placid vacation. And whether you are looking for a remote camping trip full of adventure or a cozy hotel and a night out on the town, your pets can come along for the ride. Lake Placid is super pet friendly! Some will even argue that the dogs outnumber the people in this little Adirondack town.

I’m here to let you in on a little secret that may just change your traveling life. It’s no easier when you have a furry friend or two (or three) to plan for, and even harder when you have to leave them at home.
