Keene Valley in the
Adirondack High Peaks
just 15 minutes from Lake Placid
Keene Valley is a Mecca for true nature lovers and outdoor
enthusiasts.

The trailheads to many of the Adirondack High Peaks,
the Great Range, and the Adirondack Mountain Reserve are located in
Keene Valley, just a short walk from our bed and breakfast.
In winter, these hiking
trails provide endless miles of snow shoeing or back country skiing.
Keene Valley is home to the Lake
Placid - Adirondack region's most popular rock and ice climbing areas.
Situated in and around Keene Valley are dozens of less frequented cliffs within
easy driving distance. Enjoy a swim in one of our many local
swimming holes or in picturesque Chapel Pond after a day in the woods.
The village itself boasts several cozy restaurants and cafés, and
its boutiques and mountaineering stores are truly unique.
Keene Valley is only
a short drive away from Lake Placid, the sight of
the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. Ski jumping, figure skating,
bobsled runs, world class skiing, dog sledding, fine dining and shopping
are among the many attractions of this alpine village.
The Lake
Placid and Saranac Lake Region are also a paddlers paradise,
providing countless options for canoe or kayak. Skiers will
delight in the dramatic Whiteface Mountain Ski Area, as well as the
groomed cross-country ski trails at the Mount Van Hoevenberg Olympic Ski
Area.
We are just minutes away from the
famed Jackrabbit Cross Country ski trail and backcountry skiers will
find a wide range of other terrain as well.
The Keene Valley Lodge serves as a relaxing and convenient home
base from which to enjoy all of these activities!
