Located right next to the much larger Lake Placid, Mirror Lake is known for its clear waters and serene atmosphere.
A 2.7-mile brick walking trail encircles the lake; the pathway features plaques naming each of the 46 Adirondack High Peaks.
The trail starts and ends at the public beach, which offers a swimming area, tennis courts, and a children's playground.
Motorized boats are not permitted on the lake, but visitors are free to paddle boat, canoe, or kayak.
During the winter, the lake is used for ice skating, dog sledding, and sledding down the thrilling Lake Placid toboggan chute.
