The River Walk - There is a path along the Saranac River through most of the village.
Saranac Lake is safe. Its a kind town night and day. Dig the hills, woods, and water. there is bus service twice daily to Lake Placid. There is a skateboard shop and a bicycle shop. One quality of Saranac Lake is lack of heavy vehicle traffic. Walking is the perfect way to explore the town.
Saranac Lake has several very pleasant Art Shops. It also has book stores (one new, one used) and a fine Army Surplus store. Next door, is a beautiful Native American shop. For healthy, organic food, herbs, and peaceful atmosphere, try Noris. There are some antique stores, but if you want a real adventure, search through The Gold Mine.
