Activities
At 8,300 feet in elevation, the park offers a cool retreat from the summer heat
for fisherman, boaters and wildlife enthusiasts. An abundance of animals—elk,
bear, mule deer, eagles, turkeys and other birds—inhabit the area, making Eagle
Nest Lake an ideal location for wildlife viewing. In the winter, ice fishing and
snowmobiling are popular sports when ice thickness permits. Snowmobiling is
limited to the lake surface.
