MLPA’s Mission Statement:
Founded in 1991, the Mirror Lake Protective Association seeks to: protect the water quality and shoreline of Mirror Lake; preserve the integrity of its natural environment within the watershed for the benefit of its inhabitants, flora, and fungi; promote sound conservation and land use management practices; encourage environmentally safe recreation; and increase knowledge of the lake and its history.
Mirror Lake by the Numbers
Discover Mirror Lake
“It is entirely possible that your best memories are of Mirror Lake”
The memorable Mirror Lake is a jewel nestled between the scenic towns of Wolfeboro and Tuftonboro with Mount Shaw
hovering above. True to its name clouds, stars and the mountain are often reflected in the water.
Residents and visitors enjoy fishing; kayaking; swimming; paddleboarding; sailing; canoeing; water skiing; jet skiing;
boating; wind surfing; and more. Reading, grilling and napping are favorites, too.

Cyanobacteria Blooms: What’s that green stuff?
Not everything green, brown or unusual in the lake is a cyanobacteria bloom. If you’d like to know for
sure what you are seeing please follow the NHDES protocol.

Our Volunteers
Starting with ten stellar MLPA board members volunteers branch out into teams supporting: Water Quality Monitoring; Weed Watching; Land Conservation; Finance; Website/Communication; Welcoming; Watershed Management Planning; Apparel; Lake Hosting; Buoys/Markers; and the Loons.
Protecting the Waters
Guided by Best Management Practices and the LakeSmart program residents take care of their properties. We have protocols for invasive plants and cyanobacteria blooms, our greatest threats. MLPA supports the Lake Host Program; Weed Watchers; Land Conservation; and Water Quality Monitoring to keep our lake clean. Everyone does their part.
Conservation Efforts
The MLPA Land Conservation Committee works in concert with the Tuftonboro Conservation Commission towards land conservation acquisitions.
Dr. Rick Van de Poll, from Ecosystem, serves as management consultant for MLPA.
