This live stream looks out over Mirror Lake in Lake Placid, a village in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York. It is a simple way to check how the lake and the surrounding forest look right now, before you plan a walk, a paddle or a drive into the High Peaks.
The village and its lake
Lake Placid sits at about 575 metres above sea level between forested mountains in northern New York. It is best known as a winter sports centre, having hosted the Winter Olympics twice, and as a base for hiking, cycling and boating in summer. Mirror Lake lies right in the village, and its still water often reflects the surrounding peaks, which is where the name comes from.
What the camera can show
The title names Mirror Lake, so the view is likely to be dominated by open water, shoreline and the hills behind it. Conditions change noticeably through the day: early morning often brings mist and calm water, while late afternoon light can be warm on the slopes. Seasonal change is strong here, from green summers and autumn colour to snow and ice in winter. Check the live view to see what the lake looks like at the moment.
Planning a visit
Summers are mild and popular for outdoor activity, while winters are cold and snowy, with plenty of skiing nearby. Spring can be muddy and autumn is cooler, but many visitors consider it the most scenic time. Nearby cameras on this site cover Lower St. Regis Lake, Newcomb and Bridgeview Harbor Marina, which can help you compare conditions across the region before you go.
