About this swimming hole
Mirror Lake State Park's namesake lake is a no-wake, spring-fed gem with a sandy swimming beach tucked among sandstone bluffs. The calm, clear water is ideal for families, and canoes slip quietly along the cliff-lined arms. It is the peaceful counterpoint to busy Devil's Lake, just minutes away.
