Mirror Lake State Park
A long, narrow, still lake surrounded by sandstone cliffs, with a mirror-like surface that is ideal for canoeing and paddleboarding, and home to the Seth Peterson Cottage designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Mirror Lake was formed when a dam was built across Dell Creek. Pine-covered sandstone cliffs line both shores, and the water is calm, which makes it ideal for canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards (boats can be rented at the lake). The park has about 30 km of trails, campgrounds, and beaches, and in winter you can cross-country ski. The Seth Peterson Cottage is one of the last buildings Frank Lloyd Wright designed before his death. You can rent it overnight, and it opens for public tours once a month. A state park vehicle pass is required. It is about 10 minutes' drive from downtown Wisconsin Dells.
