Cool to see that the speed skating oval has been turned into a walking path of sorts, it really stands out.
We picked up the Lake Placid Marathon bib here at the Olympic Speed Skating Oval, which is a really cool historical area in Lake Placid. It is also where the start and finish of the race happens, so it doesn't get much easier than this for racers and spectators.
What a fine fun spot to just many events. The site of speed skating and hockey for the 1932 Olympics and then again for speed skating in the 1980 Olympics. The place is super fun and super clean.
Summer visit and was a lot of fun to skate on at night. Great sunset view, fun evening out with the family. Skate rentals available there too.
