Can anyone tell me if Placid Boatworks is still in business? Emails have not been answered and I wondered if any of you have first hand knowledge? It is a challanging business and I hope for the best for Joe & his crew.

Of course they are still in operation. A fire a couple of years ago stalled them for a time while they continued to build canoes from a temporary location, but Joe has reconstructed the business and it has been up and running strong for more than a year now.
A neighbor here been calling them, they are active in entertaining customers.
Placid BoatWorks are still in business. They just moved their facility down the road in Lake Placid NY…
They are alive and well. https://www.google.com/maps/@44.2766524,-73.9849901,3a,60y,310.34h,85.43t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6dcKZIP-T15ieVNg-EPA8A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
They have been at 263 Station St next to Mill Pond for 15 years… Aside from two years or on the edge of town after the fire they have not moved.
