In downtown Lake Placid, there is a tower set up on the edge of Mirror Lake. Two icy tracks, wide enough for a toboggan, start at the top. The line for the ride runs up the side next to the tracks. So people are screaming by as you wait! Once on the toboggan, a guy pushes you off. You can gain a lot of speed and shoot way out onto the lake! It cost $5 per person and a toboggan rental is another $5. You can stay and ride as much as you want.
