The water here is cold year round making it the perfect place to cool off on hot summer days. The recreation area is open all year, but water activities are recommended only from late spring to early fall. 

Around Mirror Lake there are several miles of trails available for hikers and mountain bikers. The most popular of these trails rings the lake and is easy for hikers of all abilities. For more challenging hikes hikers can enjoy trails that move up into the mountains.

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.

Be courteous, informed, and prepared. Read trailhead guidelines, stay on the trail, and don't feed the wildlife.
