The Amazing Natural Ice Skating Rink In New York You’ll Want To Visit

Inspiring our residents to get outdoors and enjoy the breathtaking winter scenery, you're probably starting to plan out what winter activities you want to cross off of your bucket list for this year. Surrounding you with snow-capped mountains and small-town charm, this one natural ice skating rink in New York is more beautiful than you could imagine.

A stunning winter destination to visit, the village of Lake Placid surrounds the Adirondack's Mirror Lake.

Beginning in the winter of 2013, the village creates a 2-mile-long ice skating track out on the lake for visitors to come and enjoy as long as the ice is thick enough!

Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ice skating out on Mirror Lake is free and open to the public.

You'll find plenty of people enjoying dog-sled rides and going for winter strolls when you're out on the water.

And around the lake, you can also find pick-up hockey games and other smaller, cleared-out rinks for people to skate on.

Incredible to experience no matter what time of day it is, this is one winter activity that everyone should cross off of their bucket list.

Bonus! You also won't want to forget that on Mirror Lake there's also the Lake Placid Toboggan Chute.

Sending smiles out onto the lake since the 1960s, the Lake Placid Toboggan Chute is a 30-foot-high converted ski jump. Just one of the many winter activities that you can enjoy out on this natural ice skating rink!
