Outdoor Ice Skating on a very large maintained loop

Looking for ice skating a bit more off the beaten path? Try Mirror Lake! Open 24/7!

The best place to start is at the south end of the lake where you can also find a nearby shop to rent skates if you don't have them. If you do not feel like going on the 2 mile loop around the lake, you can stick to the south end of the lake where there is a cleared area for hockey (as long as people are not playing). If you want to loop around you can follow the pathway which is maintained/cleared of snow by the town.

Surrounded by mountains, there are multiple coves you can explore around the lake. There is no set route to follow but circling Buck Island or exploring Paradox Bay are great paddles. This is a big boating lake so be aware of passing boats. I suggest getting out early...
