Winters are long, cold, and genuinely snowy, with temperatures often below freezing from December through March. Summers are pleasantly warm in the 70s and 80s, and late September into early October delivers the region's famous foliage.
Albany International Airport (ALB) is the main gateway, roughly two hours from Lake Placid, and Adirondack Regional Airport (SLK) sits closer with limited service. The park is vast and public transit is sparse, so a car is essential. Winter driving here rewards all-wheel drive and a slow pace.
