About Mirror Lake State Park

Mirror Lake State Park
 

Mirror Lake State Park, located in Wisconsin, spans over 2,200 acres and is renowned for its tranquil, almost mirror-like lake which gives the park its name. The park's geography is characterized by sandstone bluffs rising up to 50 feet, encircled by lush forests and wetlands teeming with diverse wildlife. Established in 1962, the park invites visitors to explore its rich history, made evident by Native American effigy mounds and other historical markers throughout the area. Visitors are drawn to activities such as hiking, camping, fishing, and bird watching. The park's key landmarks include the Ishnala Supper Club perched on a cliff with stunning lake views, and multiple scenic overlooks. Mirror Lake's calm waters are ideal for canoeing and kayaking, as motorized boats are limited. The park also has winter appeal, offering cross-country skiing and snowshoeing opportunities. With its unique mix of natural beauty and recreational offerings, Mirror Lake State Park is a favored destination for those seeking both relaxation and adventure.
