Introduction
Mirror Lake lies by the road to Milford Sound — a tiny alpine lake whose surface is a mirror, reflecting the surrounding peaks and sky. A few minutes' walk brings you there, yet it is the most easily overlooked and most tranquil landscape painting of the Fiordland journey. A boardwalk and signs teach you to name the reflected beech and moss.
