    "Beautiful scenery, so peaceful and blue. From lower Eagle Falls to upper Eagle falls, a nice hike. Parking is limited and $5 at trail. Porty potty at the trailhead. There are little scenic stops on the road there. You won’t be disappointed at the views."

    "GO EARLY!!!!! Parking is a nightmare later on. There are very few spots in the lot so you end up having to park on the road and walking back down to it. Be careful parking because you will likely have to park right up to the rock face. The falls are no big deal at least it wasn't when we were there but the real gem is to make the 30 minute hike to the lake. Gorgeous place to hang out. It gets crowded but is enjoyable. There is a rope swing along the right side of the lake. Very picturesque- reminds me of the Canadian Rockies."

    "The parking is the worse part about this hike. There are few spots available at the trailhead. We parked about a mile up the road In a larger parking spot which was nice the walk down to the trail was interesting. The was a fun hike to eagle falls. The initial hike to the falls is quick and easy to get to, there is a small pond before the falls. The longer hike is a longer hike but it was a great workout with beautiful views. When you finally get to the lake it’s an amazing few with clear blue water and only a few people make the climb all the way to the lake so it’s was nice and quite up there to soak up the beauty of nature."

    Best Time to Visit

    Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and secure parking, especially if you plan on hiking to the lake.

    Local Tips

    • •Arrive early in the day to secure parking, as spots at the trailhead are very limited and can fill up quickly, leading to parking further down the road.
    • •While the initial falls are easily accessible, consider making the longer hike to the lake for an exceptionally beautiful and often quieter experience with crystal clear blue water.
    • •Be mindful of parking regulations; you might need to park close to the rock face on the side of the road if the main lot is full.
