Bald Eagle Viewing Hide

Highlight • Rest Area

If you're a bird enthusiast, the Bald Eagle Viewing Hide is a must-see. It's in a quiet spot with an elevated view, so spotting eagles is way easier. The best times to go are early mornings or late afternoons when the eagles are more active. Don’t forget your binoculars and camera!
