The Lady in Lake Placid

Swim, boat or peer towards Pulpit Rock on Lake Placid and you may be startled by something other than the remarkably clear water. In fact, you may encounter the ghost of Mabel Smith Douglass whose story inspired the fictional novel, "The Lady in the Lake."  Our friends at the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism/Lake Placid CVB took the boat tour because we were too scared to do it ourselves.

Are you more daring than we are?  Check out Lake Placid Boat Tours to learn a little more about the apparition, and a lot more about the Lake and it's unique history.
