The quaintness of Lake Placid has not gone unnoticed by the world of cinema. In 1999, it was the titular location of a Hollywood film, although not for its customary tranquillity. The film 'Lake Placid' drew upon the area's natural beauty for a comedic horror tale about a gargantuan crocodile causing mayhem at the fictional 'Black Lake'. This juxtaposed image of peaceful placidity and cinematic terror adds a fascinating layer of cultural interest to your holiday location.

With a star-studded cast, scenes shot across a trio of stunning Canadian lakes, and a 32-foot long crocodile puppet, 'Lake Placid' was quite the production. Despite mixed reviews, the movie has spawned multiple sequels, carved out a unique niche for itself, and added an unexpected twist to the Lake Placid narrative.

When to visit Lake Placid

Timing your holiday to Lake Placid can add a quintessential element to your experience. The summer months from May through August offer pleasant warmth that makes this lakeside idyll a haven for hikers and water sports enthusiasts. Alternatively, venture during the frost-kissed months from November to April, and immerse yourself in the exciting winter sports scene, albeit amid somewhat nippier temperatures.

The autumn colours of September and October bring a less crowded, but equally picturesque visit.
