Obviously during the winter this lake is frozen and covered with snow, its very nice to walk around. Highly recommend the walk. more »

With the Lake completely frozen you could walk wherever you wanted. Completely different vantage point then walking on the somewhat crowded streets. Thursday and Friday was the Can/Am hockey... more »

You don’t want to miss this , even if u r staying in lake George .. loveeee the serenity and calmness in mirror lake .. wish we stayed back a night ... the whole town is so relaxed .. it’s a lil expensive though ... parking is a mess here and that’s why the 4 rating.. if not it would be a five out of five :) Wait for the sunset and then the magic starts .. clouds and reflections are breathtaking during sunset .. it truly looks like a mirror . Love this place and will visit back again .. 4/5

Gorgeous place. Nice 2.7 mile walk around the lake. I have every intention of visiting up here again. I caught this little guy in a nest on April 21st on a patch of thawed out water. (Most of the Lake was still frozen.) I Used a Leland’s Trout magnet. Caught 3 total in the same spot. I also had something around 3 to 4 lbs bite my bait then spit it out (broke my heart). So don’t let anyone tell you you can’t pull some fish out of there in early Spring.
