Mirage Lake ----------- Mirage Lake is in southeast Washtenaw County, just south of Willis Road and 0.6 miles east of Carpenter Road. Turn off Willis Road onto Mirage Lake Blvd. There's an excellent vantage of the lake from a turnaround circle just up the hill. This is a good sized lake, so it will be open in the winter when ponds and smaller lakes in the area are frozen over. Look here for birds that might otherwise be at the prison pond at Platt & Bemis or at the Ann Arbor landfill borrow pit. Bruce
