Mirror Lake is so named because of its calm waters; often not a ripple mars its surface reflections, The local names Dell, Dells, and Delton derive from the French "dalles" meaning a secluded or constructed gorge. Dell Creek winds its way for 25 miles through sand and hill country west of Wisconsin Dells. It begins in southern Juneau County, heads southeast into Sauk County, turns a right angle six miles north-east of Reedsburg, and runs northeast through Mirror Lake and Lake Delton to the Wisconsin River one and one-half miles south of Wisconsin Dells.
