Escape to the beauty of the Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa, nestled on the shores of Lake Placid, New York. The verdant Adirondack Mountains serve as a backdrop to this early 20th-century estate, which boasts unparalleled fishing, breathtaking scenery, and world-class guided adventures in surrounding areas. Lake Placid’s pristine waters offer anglers some of the most dazzling fishing experiences in the country.
This two-day fishing and three-night lodging package in May of 2025 puts you on bountiful trout waters just in time for the first insect hatches of the season. Accompanied by Lake Placid’s best local guides, you’ll dip into the East’s finest brown trout fishing, target impressive trophy lake trout, or cast to beautiful brookies in serene backcountry waters.
Rugged wilderness meets luxury accommodations at the Mirror Lake Inn, overlooking Mirror Lake and the Adirondack High Peaks. Join Zac Horrocks, a seventh-generation Adirondack fishing guide, to explore this incredible fishery. Zac has guided across the globe, but his hometown of Lake Placid always calls him back. His wealth of Adirondack angling knowledge is sure to make this trip unforgettable.
This package includes an arrival night Meet & Greet with Zac and his guides from 6-7pm, where you’ll find yourself regaled with local insight, history, and likely a few tall tales (light Hors D’oeuvres will be served, and resort credit can be used toward alcohol).
For over four decades, the Mirror Lake Inn has been honored with the AAA Four-Diamond “Exceptional” Award and is a member of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World. With its full-service spa, private beach, and two excellent on-site restaurants — including The Cottage Cafe, renowned for its lakeside cocktail hour — the resort offers everything you need to bask in the Adirondacks when you're not on the water.
