Mirror Lake Waterfall

Love waterfalls of any kind. It was raining when I visited but worth dodging the raindrops. If you're in the area it's worth seeing. There is parking for a couple vehicles on one side of the street right by the falls. Then you walk down a set of steps. To the right the path that leads you to an overlook of the falls to the left it leads to another overlook of the water and an old mill or what's left of it.

What an amazing hidden gem this spot is. Stayed there for more than 5 hours and at a point it was just me with a private waterfall. Families with toddlers were present for sometime. You can take a dip and also het in the waterfall if you feel a bit adventurous like me. I see people fishing on the other side. The waterfall area is good for a quick dip and have some peaceful time with a good view. Parking is limited on the entrance near stairs but you have more parking available before you turn for the waterfalls and down the road.

Talk about a hidden gem!! WOW, this was a pleasant surprise and fun place to visit. They let you explore the area, spring, waterfall, and even dip your feet in the water! Its cold but so so worth it! The lake is one of the most majestic views I've seen in Arkansas! Definitely worth visiting if in the area. We drove an hr. to see it and it was for sure worth it! Take the Cavern tour while there it also is a very educational and beautiful tour!

Beautiful drive from Jacksonville. Water and scenery was breathtaking as well. Perfect shallow creek beds for littles and adults alike. Campgrounds were clean and spacious even on Memorial wknd. and the cavern tour is well worth the 16.00. My only regret is not taking more pictures. Can't wait to go back and camp there. A sweet little Arkansas gem. A Must see!

Recently visited on Aug 11, 2023. One of the nicest places I've visited by far. The water temp... well not sure how cold it was but if your from Texas and know the temp of the Frio or Guadalupe Rivers then it's about that cold. When you first jump in on a hot summer day there's a mild shock but feels great right after. Not many people on this day. We visited Blanchard Spring Caves and the tickets were $15 USD per person for a 1 hour tour. It was amazing as well. The ticket included the fee to visit the fall which otherwise would have been $3 USD. We took sandwiches and ate at the falls. Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely beautiful. We drove an hour and a half each way. Totally worth it!

Such a great experience to take in the nature around! Get off the beaten path and discover a whole new world of nature and the beautiful surroundings.

If you haven't been here you need to go!! Absolutely Gorgeous! Take the higher trail on the walkway then take the lower trail to the mill and the bottom of the waterfall. It's an easy walk. The hardest part is stepping off the curb to get to the lower trail.

We went to visit the caverns but there was a sold out sign so we went to explore this place and it's magical, beautiful and peaceful. You can also try some fishing on the lake.

This lake is extremely beautiful. This is a piece of heave for photography needs like me. However you do have to hike a trail to get here depending on how far away you park will depend on how long the trail is. They do offer fishing here however there is no swimming.

In the area showing property so went to Mirror Lake, it was beautiful! I wish I’d known you can hike down on a trail to see the grist mill and waterfall up close. I’ll definitely do that next time. We just went on the boardwalk to see it. The water is a beautiful emerald green. Lots of great stone work everywhere. We’ll also go fishing next time! It’s a must see if you are in Mountain View area. Also go see the caverns!

You can't get much better than this for a free attraction. A couple of hiking options, and a great place to sit and relax in nature with minor exertion.

Beautiful place at Blanchard Springs. You can hike down to the waterfall and old mill.

Mirror Lake Waterfall...This place truly lives up to it's name. Came here with my girlfriend back in June, and it was stunning! Looks like something out of a magazine. We were also fortunate enough to be able to observe a family of otters swimming around, which was quite entertaining. Definitely will be back.

We had some time to kill before taking our tour of the caverns, and decided to check out this hidden gem. We loved it! There was almost no walk to get to it, and it was very pretty. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful! You can take the boardwalk or go on the footpath if you want to get a closer look. We hiked the whole thing from Mirror Lake parking up to Blanchard Spring and back along the opposite side. Nice little hike. I liked that the two main attractions were ADA accessible though so everyone has access.

This beautiful lake is located in Blanchard Springs, just a few minutes drive from Mountain View. You can fish in the lake and it is stocked full! There is no swimming on Mirror lake, but there are swimming holes in nearby creeks. There are hiking trails around the whole area and strategically placed restrooms. Be sure to watch for the day-use fee area, only $3 per vehicle.

Beautiful area, water is crystal clear, attached to Blanchard Springs Recreation area, which is currently closed for camping but still open to sit by the creeks and enjoy nature 😃Number of hiking routes about, we didn't do any. Husband put in a fishing pole hoping for trout, no luck but fun trying. I believe they stock the lake with trout but we didn't look at what dates. Quite busy, go early 😃

Very nice waterfall, it’s more like man made designed for controlled flow from the mirror lake but still beautiful. Parking is a little further north (few yards)from the fall. You can go to the bottom of the fall by a short hike. There is a building remnant which use to be an old mill which got dysfunctional during word war II.

The best place we went. Caught trout and saw otters(3). They loved to eat the trout we threw back. Not to mention it is just a uniquely beautiful place!!
