Mirror Lake is a 137 acre lake formed by the damming of Dell Creek. The dam is one of the oldest man-made dams in the State of Wisconsin.
This cache will treat you to a view of a narrow river-like waterway within a tall sandstone cliff-sided gorge. This gorge was formed by melting glacier waters carving through the soft Cambrian sandstone left by ancient seas.
As the trail meanders you may see and hear shore and forest birds and animals as well as see some remnants of old lodges, homes, and driveways that predate this rather new (1966) State Park.
Just past the cache is a great view of the lake from the bluff, but take care not to get too close as the leaves could be slippery. Please hide carefully so as not to be found by passers-by. Thanks.
