Lake Placid for a great family adventure

This past weekend I visited Lake Placid with my son 's peewee hockey team. Having no expectations save for the 1980 Olympics, I was really surprised at how comfortable and scenic Lake Placid is and came away with a great destination for another family adventure. In winter, Lake Placid shines with so many adventures to do from downhill skiing at Whiteface Mountain in eastern North America's longest vertical, to experiencing Bobsledding to skating around the Olympic speed skating track. Accommodation options abound including the quaint Mirror lake Inn.Talk to Langford Adventure to help customize your next adventure here.

Western Pond Inlet- Awesome and Pristene

Newfoundland’s famous picture of the hiker with arms open staring down a fjord was taken on the hike from Western Brook Pond. Having seem so many pictures of this fjord I was worried that the boat trip might be a let down. Any worry vanished even before we got close to the trail head parking lot. The sheer cliffs of the fjord are magnificent and can be seen for miles as you drive north from Rocky Harbour. What was most impressive is how Parks Canada have kept the Western Pond Inlet area 100% pristine. I loved the 45 minute hike to the boat launch. The walk across the bog and stunted spruce and tamarack is stunning and is a great appetizer to the boat tour. How tempting it must have been for Parks Canada to build a road to this incredible lake. Hats off for keeping this jewel in it’s natural splendour. If you would like to take in Western Pond Inlet, check out Langford Adventure's Newfoundland family adventure.
