'''Mirror Lake''' is a [[lake]] in the high [[Uinta Mountains]] in [[Utah]]. It is a popular fishing and recreation spot. The lake contains three species of trout: rainbow, brook, and tiger.  The lake has a [[US Forest Service|Forest Service]] [https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/uwcnf/recarea/?recid=9510 campground], picnic facilities, and a boat ramp for non-motorized watercraft. Access to the lake is by the [[Mirror Lake Highway]], which is only open during the summer (other than by [[snowmobile]]).

The lake's name comes from the near-perfect reflection of the surrounding mountains and trees seen from a roadside overlook or from the shore. The shoreline is owned by the [[Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest]].
Mirror Lake includes the adjacent Mirror Lake Campground, with latrines, day-use areas and 94 campsites. The water that enters the lake is overflow from Pass Lake located just above Mirror Lake. The outflow is the headwaters of the [[Duchesne River]].
