What is the famous ice cream stand in Saranac Lake?

Although there are plenty of great places to go for ice cream in Saranac Lake, some seasonally open, others open year-round, there is one historically notorious spot that attracts visitors to the region. Donnelly's is well-known for its delicious and picture-perfect soft ice cream, served daily from Memorial Day until the stores run out after Labor Day. The traditional style, one room creamery sits off of Route 86, just 3.5 miles from the Village of Saranac Lake. TAUNY has recognized Donnelly's ice cream stand on the Register of Special Places. Go for a cone or a sundae if you're visiting during the summer months.
