Mirror Lake, New York, United States
5.0 (1.069 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Lake Placid Bodies of Water
Absolutely Lovely
Mirror Lake is absolutely lovely. At times during the day it is just like a mirror with waters reflecting its surroundings in the calm water. The lake is great for swimming, canoeing or other water activities. One may stroll around the lake on sidewalks and through Lake Placid. Staying on the lake is magical, and sunsets reflecting on the lake are spectacular.

Very pretty
Clean, quaint, great views, & good restaurants. You can get discounted rates on the Friday after Thanksgiving that are good for certain times outside of peak dates. The Cottage Cafe across street is great. Like an apres ski vibe and right on lake so you can watch skaters or dogsleds. It is sooo beautiful in the winter with all the white lights up that stay up throughout the winter.

Beautiful lake without motorized boats
This lake which borders downtown Lake Placid is a real gem. It is gorgeous. Often the clouds are reflected in the still water. It is peaceful because they don't allow motorized boats. That leaves a lot of room for stand-up paddleboards, row boats, kayaks, etc. On July 4th they also do a great fireworks show at 9:30pm (from the park at the southern end) which you can see from just about anywhere on the lake. I took some amazing photos of the fireworks reflected off the surface of the lake. I have also taken great shots over the lake (from the great Golden Arrow resort) at sunrise (around 5:30pm in summer).
