Greater Adirondack Film Commission

Adirondacks, USA
Vast and Varied…
At over 6 million acres, the Adirondack Park is bigger than the State of Vermont and bigger than five national parks combined: Grand Canyon, Great Smoky, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier.
The rugged High Peaks, more than 3,000 lakes and ponds of all shapes and sizes, and the most waterfalls in the state, are just some of the magnificent backdrops. Sometimes referred to as the ‘Montana of the east’, the area boasts expanses of pastoral grazing land set against a mountain backdrop, excellent for year-round filming.

Historic Architecture
Early 19th Century architecture abounds in the rustic Adirondack Great Camps, old railroad stations, and nostalgic Main streets.

Winter Olympics
Olympic host city, and winter sports legend, Lake Placid stands alone to have hosted two Winter Olympic Games.

Picturesque Villages
Enchanting mountain towns overflow with character and a welcoming atmosphere. Take the picturesque village of Lake Placid, for instance, a seasoned host of international events, ensuring producers a solid resource that caters to their filming needs.
