Destination Known: Lake Placid, New York, USA

Gist: Home of skyrocketing pop star Lana Del Rey is everything but glittery. It’s a lake in desolate upstate New York that can offer one thing for sure: complete serenity. Although the village of Lake Placid is the most boisterous town of the Adirondack Region, sparked with year-round activity, it still a place that stays true to its name. It is in some ways a misnomer because the town actually sits along the shores of another body of water named Mirror Lake. Lake Placid itself, a much larger body of water, is located directly north. The lake, however, is splendidly scenic.  Lake Placid hosted the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics.
