We spent fathers day at Eagle Lake this year. Going up with my wife and kid as well as my father, his GF, and her old boss from Alaska.
First let me tell you we did not do much fishing. every one seemed to be into sleeping more than 4am in the boat.
Second the lake is in BAD shape. while we were getting great rain and snow pack they got almost no weather at all. The boat launch is basically a one side narrow spot to drop your boat.
We stayed at Merrell campground which is ok for the RV folks but I am not much for campgrounds that are this improved so to speak. We did get out on the lake about 8 am which if you have boat fished eagle lake you know thats when it is pretty much over. by 9am a slight wind popped up which is so common out there that white caps were forming on the lake. Later on while everyone else was napping I went for a drive to see what I could find. Here is a of pic of a little meadow I found. lots of green grass with good water flowing and lots of mosquitos. This is also the trip i found the Nancy Allen Grave site and marker. pretty cool stuff. also found this old live stock ramp in the middle of nowhere. No fields, buildings or anything. makes a guy wonder why it was put there.
The other photo is a picture of the "castle" on eagle lake near spalding taken from in the boat
