Mirror Lake is a small lake on the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, United States. Historically, the lake was spring-fed, but the spring dried up in the 1920's. The water source was subsequently provided by the city of Columbus municipal water supply.[1] It is a tradition at the University for students to jump into the lake at midnight on the Thursday night prior to the annual football game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Michigan Wolverines.
