Part of the magic of upstate New York is that it’s a unique vacation destination at any time of the year. Head upstate during the winter, and you’ll find yourself in a wintry dream world of snow, charming lodges, heartwarming food, and skiing adventures for days. During the summer, it’s time to take the kayak out on one of the region’s many picturesque lakes and go camping in the mountains. Come fall, wind through the hills for miles and miles of some of the best leaf peeping in the Northeast. Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort is a hotel and outdoor playground packed into one, tucked away in beautiful Lake Placid in the Adirondacks. Every season brings its magic; just be ready for a great combination of relaxation and fun!
