The best town in the Adirondacks has it all over Lake Placid. Spend a day in the tourist trap of Lake Placid if you must, but be sure to reserve time to stop by the beautiful and laid back town of Saranac Lake. And the lake itself is a marvel, nearly devoid of any shoreline development -- just the water and the surrounding trees and mountains.

Saranac Lake is actually 3 lakes in one, with the Lower Saranac, Middle Saranac and Upper Saranac lakes making up Saranac lake. Much like Lake Placid's situation, the town of Saranac Lake sits mostly on Lake Flower and not Saranac Lake.
Driving on Route 3 towards Tupper Lake you get beautiful views of the Saranac's with the fantastic Adirondack mountain backdrop. The water is pristine and an outdoor paradise. There is little development around the lakes and it is fantastic to drive around them. They also have the Saranac Islands public campground on the northernmost shore. The town of Saranac Lake is also nice with it's quaint downtown along the river and Lake Flower.

The scenery around Saranac Lake is fine but the town has no activity and looks deserted. Not a pleasant experience. Lake Placid is a much better choice
