Are you doing this trip in one day? If not, there are several hotels in town. LP also has plenty of things to do. Google Lake Placid.

If you're meandering, you can drive the backroads from LP south, back to Utica. From Utica take I-90 east to Albany. Then, 87 south.

If you could be more specific....
