This is an incredible hike that’s unlike any other in the state; but it’s not an easy stroll – be prepared for a bit of a challenge. From the trailhead, the trail descends a rather steep, 200-foot limestone bluff.

Stairs help with the descent, but be prepared to encounter roots and rocky terrain. Use extra caution after a rain, as sections can become a little slippery.

Hikers who take on the challenge will be rewarded with an incredible hike, however. You’ll encounter rocky caves and stunning vistas of the bay, including a marvelous view of Ephraim. Take your time to work your way through the hike, and the experience will be one you won’t soon forget!

The Eagle Trail is about two miles of length but because of the terrain, allow for plenty of time to complete the hike. Lean more about the trail on the Peninsula State park website.
