f you’re planning a trip to Wisconsin Dells, you need to know about this hidden gem that absolutely needs to be on your must-see list: Mirror Lake. Located within Mirror Lake State Park, this lake lives up to its name with still, glassy waters that reflect the beauty of the area. Here you can hike, bike or coast along the waters. Stay central to this beautiful lake with a vacation rental from Spring Brook Vacation Home Resort. Â
A Lake That Lives Up to Its Name
Mirror Lake is one of those places that you have to see to believe. The water is so calm and clear, it really does look like a giant mirror, reflecting the towering sandstone cliffs and tall trees that surround it. Â
Unlike some other lakes in Wisconsin, Mirror Lake has a no-wake policy, meaning you won’t hear the buzz of motorboats disturbing the peace. It’s all about relaxation and enjoying the great outdoors at your own pace.Â
Activities like kayaking, canoeing, pontoon boating, stand-up paddleboarding, and row boating are all allowed here. You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy time on the water. You can rent your gear and head out onto the lake for a peaceful paddle. Glide across the glassy waters to the soundtrack of happy birds and the breeze through the trees. It doesn’t get more peaceful than that!Â
Fun on the Water
Rent equipment from Dells Watersports has you covered. They offer a variety of rentals at their Mirror Lake location (E10320 Fern Dell Rd., Baraboo, WI), from kayaks and canoes starting at just $25 per hour to pontoon boats $175 for a 2-hour rental. Try out a stand-up paddleboard for a great workout while taking in Mirror Lake from a whole new perspective. Paddleboards can be rented at $25 for an hour rental. Â
For the anglers out there, Mirror Lake is a prime spot for fishing. The lake is home to a variety of species, including bass, bluegill, walleye, northern pike, and panfish. The trick is to fish along the edges of the lake, where the weeds create ideal conditions for catching fish. And if you’re visiting during the winter, ice fishing is a popular activity in the northwestern corner of the lake. Â
Different Ways to Explore
Want to spend the day hiking? There are nearly 30 miles of hiking trails winding through the park, each offering great views of the lake and the forest. Is biking more your speed? There are 9 miles of off-road biking trails, perfect for exploring on two wheels. If your travels bring you to Mirror Lake during the winter months, don’t despair. There’s much to see and do here even if the trails are covered in snow! The park transforms into a snowy wonderland, with over 15 miles of cross-country ski trails and snowshoeing paths. Â
