Points of Eagle Beach State Recreation Site

Rel­a­tive­ly easy but long (up to 7 hours), this full-day hike is worth the effort for the views at the end. You’ll want to have good shoes and watch your foot­ing, as the trail is lined with roots and is often wet. The trail winds through old-growth for­est, past beaver dams and old min­ing rails, and ends at a log cab­in nes­tled at the edge of a scenic lake with gor­geous views of Eagle Glac­i­er and the sur­round­ing mountains. 

This short trail leads you along the mouth of the Eagle Riv­er and a salt marsh estu­ary. Be sure to pack a pic­nic as there are tables near the end of the trail. 

Enjoy hik­ing, camp­ing, & pic­nick­ing on this remote beach, known as Surfer­’s Beach. The beach is acces­si­ble via a trail at MP 12.5 Pasagshak Rd.

This trail fol­lows the for­mer min­ing tramway. The bridges are in poor con­di­tion and the trail has not been main­tained in years. The area is very scenic with high pop­u­la­tions of brown bears. The trail ends in Yan­kee Basin and con­nects to Bessie Creek Trail.
