Mirror Lake State Park
Static map displayed.
Mirror Lake State Park is just outside Lake Delton, near the Wisconsin Dells, and wraps around Mirror Lake, a long, narrow lake between wooded sandstone banks. The park opened in 1966, and it also holds the Seth Peterson Cottage, one of the last houses Frank Lloyd Wright designed. I spent the early afternoon of July 24, 2022, there, on a sunny summer day with big white clouds, one of the Wisconsin state parks I hiked in those years. I walked the trails through the pine and oak woods, past an old tree covered in moss and knots leaning over the path and a stone with a plaque from the park’s 50th anniversary, and finished at the beach, where the picnic lawn running down to the water was full of people enjoying the sun.
